If Jack Frost can make the pumpkins get ripe...he also may influence all the wonderful colors in Autumn. We've passed the equinox back on the 22nd. And I've been looking for colors. But I decided that credit should be due to a magical fairy who might fly about and touch trees with color.
Whoever is doing it, they are early in these parts.
Goldenrod is having a great year, everywhere I went.
Oh, you noticed this isn't goldenrod. I don't know its name however...
The bradford pear is starting to turn, and my car usually is parked a spot away from the one in this photo.
The north side of a kind of maple has these deep red leaves...or maybe I''m wrong about it being a maple.
Bank parking lot in downtown Black Mountain usually has some pretty colors, and one tree is ahead of the other!
I live on the north side of these trees, and I think the colors start on the south side - maybe.
A bit of sunshining through the trees, points out the presence of yellow leaves, which I don't see usually from my window.
The view from my balcony, or living room windows, now shows some mountain blue through the maple trees, which are loosing leaves pretty fast these days!
