Thank you for all the kind wishes for our son's birthday! Much appreciated, my friends.
Even in the last days of November, we still have lots of color. And if you notice, I changed my header photo and that means, we had some rain! The wildfires continue in the mountains and because we had high winds that came in before the storm front, it fanned the flames to such an extent that in Gatlinburg, Tennessee many people had to be evacuated and three died.
We have enjoyed our autumnal walks admiring the leaves, they have really put on a show.
You wouldn't believe how much time I have spent trying to identify all the trees. It is much harder than you might think!
Hickory, sourwood, sweetgum, white oak, red oak, serviceberry, blackgum scarlet oak, beech...and many more!
I even had to take photos from the car on the way home from our walk...the trees below are in front of the middle school which is just across from our neighborhood.
I know I must be driving y'all crazy with these fall leaves but don't worry, it will December soon, and the trees will be bare. We will enjoy them while we can!
Oh wow, oh wow, the trees are getting better every time! I love your photos, and the glorious colour of Autumn.
ReplyDeleteHappy you like them too, we just have been very excited about them.
DeleteOh Wow, Kay! That is totally awesome! I do love the fall colors too. I was happy to see them in Korea although we had rainy weather there. You have to enjoy them now while you can.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, they have been very colorful and lasted a very long time this year, to our enjoyment!
DeleteDear Kay, you are definitely NOT driving me crazy with such beautiful pictures of the wonderful autumn colours in your area! I love looking at them, and even more so as nearly all the trees around here are bare now.
ReplyDeleteIt has gone really cold here, temperatures are below freezing, but it is sunny and no snow in sight - yet :-)
Wish you could go on this walk with us, the trail goes up on a ridgeline which is nearly as high as Panola Mountain itself!
DeleteBeautiful autumn colour!
ReplyDeleteGlad to share it with you!
DeleteSuch pretty trees, and i can hardly get enough of them! Most trees here just turn brown, or stay green.
ReplyDeleteAh, but you must not be too far from a beach, right?
DeleteI love the pictures of your colorful trees and very thankful you got rain. Here our trees are mostly bare with the exception of a few oak leaves hanging on.
ReplyDeleteWe got even more rain today! Of course, that goes hand in hand with the chance of a tornado! Luckily, that didn't happen but some areas did have wind damage.
DeleteLovely!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, thank you! And as you can tell, I took some of these, including the header photo!
DeleteIt's been a good year for autumn leaves here too. There aren't many left on the trees now.
ReplyDeleteI was there in September, so I saw the beginning of your Autumn!
DeleteThe fall leaves were much prettier in November than in October.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for the rain, finally !
November was the month, wasn't it? It has been so pretty!
DeleteDid you get even more rain today? We did, it poured buckets, so nice to hear it!
I love your leaf and forest photos! How beautiful the red of your header is. We still have a few trees with colorful leaves but I think the glory has passed around here. Glad you are having some rain at last, but very sorry about the news from Gatlinburg. And the animals in the aquarium...All these fires where people are living are so tragic.
ReplyDeleteI think my Dad said 400 buildings burned and seven people died. Such a tragedy.
DeleteHey, I even took that first photo, I just could not get close enough to that color, I wanted to drink it in.
I really love pictures of the fall colors. As for the awful fires all over the area I feel so bad for everyone. Gatlinburg is one of my favorite places. I hope for the best outcome there.
ReplyDeleteI know, everyone loves Gatlinburg. Praying for all those affected.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday to your son! All of our leaves are gone and I know yours will soon be gone, too. They are gorgeous through, aren't they? Fall is just my favorite time of year.
ReplyDeleteIt is just awful what is happening down south with the fires and rain.
Hope you have a great week. xo Diana
Hey Diana! Thanks for your well wishes for C., they are appreciated at any time! x
DeleteHope you have a lovely week, my friend! xx
The colour in your header photo is majestic!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your woodland walk photo's, the trees and leaves look good, so do you two!
All the best Jan
Ha ha...I look really, really good...from a great distance!
DeleteI was stunned by that red, honestly, I didn't think Richard would ever get me away from it!
The fires and loss of life in Tennessee is so sad! But, I agree the color this year in our area is probably the prettiest I've ever seen. Lovely photos, Kay!
ReplyDeleteI do wonder what is different this year, we were always told that there had to be a certain amount of rain for the trees to have a nice color....so much for that! :-)
DeleteIt was awfully good to see that rain.
ReplyDeleteI know! And we are promised to have three days of it straight, starting today! :-)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous, beautiful autumn you have over there in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a beautiful autumn, just gorgeous in the colors!
