I went down Central St., hoping to see the remains of the Friend's Meeting House, which sat on a horseshoe bend in the Swannanoa River. I saw this pretty fall tree, and was stopped from going any further when I got to the group house which may or may not be relocated from it's original location.
The maples outside my windows have started to turn orange. Then overnight last Sunday night (about the 4-5th night with frost) they just boomed into orange!

A bit of bright sunshine even makes this Bradford pear tree look pretty good.
Behind the bank building are a lot of cars for early voters at the next building, the Black Mountain Library. You may notice all the blue skies. No rain since Hurricane Helene came through 27 days ago. None is forecast either. Strange.
Today's quote:
When we trust our creative energy, we encounter a supreme kind of enjoyment—an amazement at the natural unfolding of life beyond our ordinary way of looking at things. |

Love all the pretty Autumn trees and colors, beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteA great quote! Take care, Happy Friday and have a great weekend.
It's helping us look up, where the blue skies and pretty leaves are!
Delete...stay healthy and high and dry!
ReplyDeleteGood advice. I'm personally working on the healthy part!
DeleteYikes! Has that entire building been shifted by the flood? Still, the seasons continue to unfold and much of nature goes on as normal. A touch of frost certainly spurs the leaf colour to develop.
ReplyDeleteYes, many buildings floated on the surges of water. Sad to say. The colors are so beautiful now, for a while.
DeleteThe trees are looking very nice. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm looking forward to a couple of fun things to take part in.
DeleteThe maples turned quickly and well.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why my template is different than anyone else's, but if you click Post a Comment, you are able to see to whom I have replied.
I only see your name, the comment, and the time. No "post a comment" comes through there. Now before I publish this comment I have a choice to hit a square that says "Notify Me." If I do that it then shows the email address that all comments will be sent to, from this blog post. It can become cumbersome so I usually don't do that. Our blogger versions must be somewhat different. I found that between the iPad and the laptop as well. But I love that you're replying...just add a "B" so I know which one is for me. Yes I just went back to check.
DeleteToo late for today, actually I haven't posted today. The Post a Comment is at the bottom of the comments that have been made, not near the comment itself. On the line above Older Posts. We'll get there someday.
DeleteHi Barbara, Even here over in East Tennessee valley, we're starting to see some decent fall colors. The weather folks commented that it was due to cool temps at night and warm sunshine in the daytime. In any case, we do love seeing the fall colors! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThey are my favorite part of living in the mountains...though I recently discovered how great spring is here too!
DeleteSuch beauty. And then, a house in the middle of the road. Nature, in all its glory and power.
ReplyDeleteA hand to rock the cradle, so to speak, and also to wipe away whatever is in the path of mud and water.
DeleteLove the colors on the leaves.
ReplyDeleteMe too. The blue skies also set off the yellows and oranges beautifully!
DeleteNice colors! Glad you are safe and back home. It was heartbreaking and unbelievable to see the flooding in Asheville and the surrounding areas. It is bad in Florida too, having to deal with the second storm almost 2 weeks after Helene.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous time of t he year.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
I love the windows photos.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colours!
