More Photos Of Gorgeous Autumnal Tree Leaves

Hello! 

Well, the sun is fully out, and the sky is blue, so the fall leaves are absolutely blazing. Again, walking the dog at lunch time becomes a time for photos as well. And really, dogs love to back-track, pause, cross streets in odd places, and take a different route. Well, the younger ones do anyway! 

The turning of the leaves is so mesmerizing! It is like stained glass art, but in nature with trees and the sky! Nature is always such an inspiration for so many good things.

Here's some of the highlights from my walk today, for you to enjoy as well...

I mean, if colors speak to you on a normal day, this really grabs ya. 

Oh the yellows turn to gold. A lot start out pale and unremarkable, and then suddenly, the next day they are gold and glowing. 

The sun beaming through the orange-yellow tree and the purple-red tree in the back with the blue sky? Living art. 

Another stunning color palette: azure blue and light blue sky, deep red leaves,, and yellow with a tiny hint of green leaves in the back. 

This center red glowing leafed tree is quite tall and so slender! I love the pale green, orange and green mixed in the background with the sky too. The center tree is mostly in shade, so the red it muted, except for the some of the branches that are glowing red, a lovely neon. 


And, for the finale, a close up of red/orange leaves from right underneath. What a beautiful extravaganza! 

Hope you enjoyed the tour. 

Happy weekend!

In The Fall, The Leaves Turning Captivates And Enthralls

In the fall, leaves turn to brilliant hues, then fall, and slowly wilt. The darkness arrives earlier and earlier each evening. So it is. And so it is. At least here, in the Midwest, US. 

On the other side of the world, spring flowers are blooming!

The Autumn leaves here are really starting to hit their stride. And they certainly hold their own compared to the beauty and intoxication of spring. There is a deep energy of cultivation and reflection in fall that nurtures dreams, poetry, art, reading, play, baking, cooking, and rest.

I am so busy studying... and, also so busy updating my website with a whole new system! Once that's done, then I will be able to add inventory. It is hard to find or make spare time. But, here I am!

Walking the dogs is a great way for me to get outside and take a break, almost every day. Thank goodness for our sweet little dogs. 

Today, while it was not too sunny, it was a nice surprise to see a bit of a brilliant blue sky here and there. Here are some photos I took of the trees today:


The reds are so stunning! Especially with the blue sky showing. 

 

This little tree...what a beauty!

It's really breathtaking in person, if you take the time to really look. 

This may not look as showstopping, but it was the center of the street, all the way down, with the glowing orange leaves that really made it for me, along with the yellow with the deep green.


 Oh gosh, and such a tall tree! Sheltered near a tall pine. Like stained glass sky. The greatest. 

It's absolutely a miracle. The inspiration of nature is incredible. Each time, unique and singular. I'm thankful for this. 

Well, until next time...

take good care of you.

all my best,

Chandra
