Maple Tree

I love looking straight up at the trees!

Autumn Leaves

It is getting to be that time of year - 

the leaves are changing colour, and falling.

Soon enough, the trees will be bare.

I am linking today's post with Skywatch Friday. Click the link to the right to see what is in others' skies around the world.

Maple Tree

This maple tree had lost most of its leaves when the sunlight caught it one afternoon, last month...

Maple Flowers

The second trees to bloom are the maples, after the willows.

Sun and Leaves

It is so good to see the sun again!

I love seeing it come through the leaves,

 with or without frost.

I think I notice the sun coming through the leaves more in the fall than any other season...

Autumn Colours

It's that time of year

 when you look up

 to see the leaves on the trees,

 and down to see the leaves on the ground.

I think this is a maple tree, but it is blooming before coming out in leaf.

Autumn Colour

Autumn Leaves

The leaves are beginning to change colours,

 and to fall.

 But the days are sunny, and warm, in the afternoons.

 

Raindrops

A couple of trees are starting to change colour

 and drop their leaves already.

 I love the way the raindrops act as magnifying glasses...

 

Maple Tree

The sun rising over the houses caught the branches of the maple tree at the end of the street,

 and the swelling buds.

 

Sunlight and Leaves

I love the sunlight shining through leaves - any sort of leaves -

 these are both violet leaves.

 And maple, and a frost covered geranium from early this morning.

Skywatch Friday

I think these are crabapples, although there are a LOT of them!

Frost on the Fallen Leaves

The thyme leaves are still green,

although all the leaves

have fallen off the trees now.

The frost and the shadows still animate them!
