The leaves are turning so quickly this year! (And falling, too). I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise…we had summer-hot weather in April and May, and the whole growing season felt completely accelerated.
Hope you have some time to get outside and enjoy someplace beautiful this weekend!
Still mostly green here, Sheryl, except for the outer branches of one maple tree in our backyard. By October 1, I expect it all to be very different, though.
You’re likely in full autumn mode now…the maples always put on such an amazing show. 🙂
Hey Sheryl! You are do right – our Summer weather came way too early this year. Hope we get an Indian Summer out of this before our long cold weather comes in. It would be a wonderful time.
I do hope there will be some warmth for a while yet…I’m not quite ready for winter conditions!
Strangely, our fall wildflowers — sunflowers and liatris, mistflower and such — haven’t yet made an appearance. We’ve had such warmth and so much rain that the plants that prefer cooler temperatures and drier conditions seem to be sulking. No matter. There’s plenty of beauty to be seen.
It is wonderful to experience all the slow changes…here, it’s usually a much quicker process. Autumn only seems to last for a week or so and then we have snow. Certainly, that appears to be the case again this year.
Only leaves I’ve seen turning here in SW Michigan are on my peach tree…
I’m super late with my reply so perhaps you’re getting more fall colour now…. 🙂
Some of the maples have tiny sections of reddish dark green leaves now. Wonder if this means we’ll have a long-ish, warm fall?
Beautiful shot, Sheryl. You really are getting an early fall. We keep getting teases of cooler weather and that wonderful, autumn smell. But no we’re in another crazy heatwave, with a new pumpkin on the vine. It’s crazy.
Gorgeous photo, I’m also seeing a quick turn to fall here in the Pacific Northwest.
It is definitely happening fast here! Now the leaves are dropping very quickly – the trees will be bare in a week or two….
Such a beautiful photo Sheryl! We have only just started to smell the autumn smell here. We had a very cool spring and early summer but the late summer has been gorgeous. I’m hoping for good colour in the leaves soon.
Nothing like that fantastic autumn smell – it always makes me happy for some reason. I love summer and miss it when it’s over but I do enjoy the change of the season. I hope you will have amazing fall foliage this year!
🙂
Great colors.I’m reddy for fall
I love this time of year as well! So refreshing!
