Saved by the Trees!
NOTE TO EVERYBODY! PLEASE READ ON…
Above, that’s my front yard.
MY E-MAIL IS DOWN AGAIN.
That’s a leaf on my October Glory red maple.
So I thought I’d post a few pictures of my trees, all taken yesterday. Something pretty to look at while we wait for e-mail to return.
Isn’t this one of my Red Sunset red maple cute?
But if you need to reach me, you can either call, or E-MAIL ME AT jwsphoto@gmail.com.
Above, deep inside my Red Sunset Red Maple the leaves are much less red.
He’s bright red on the outside though.
See?
Full-length pictures of three trees: Top, Bradford pear is just beginning to show a little orange on the leaf tips. Left, an Armstrong maple glimmers in the morning sun. Right, October Glory red maple is not yet at peak color.
The October Glory may be red on the outside, but inside, she’s decidedly yellow.
That’s the October Glory on the left, growing into one of the Bradford pears.
And this is the other Bradford pear on the left, and my sugar maple on the right. LOTS of color this year! Lots of leaves too. Anybody want to organize a raking party?
From underneath the October Glory, an arborvitae is bright green in front of the red sunset.
The Greenspire Linden usually turns soft yellow, but not this year. So far, pale green.
That’s one of the Armstrong maples in the background. So pretty!
A leaf on my October Glory.
I love fall
*sigh*
I hate when my e-mail is down.
Happy honey-baked ham day!
