Leaving





























It were early fer the real blaze in the mountians--but the upside of missin' the leaf peak is that here were fewer folks around and that is real fine wif' me. Uncle an' me is home safe, makin' rounds of the clan to check on all...how's ya'll all been?

Welcome home, Aunty. Love all the vibrant autumn colors. I'm with you... we don't go up to the Carolinas at peak in order to avoid the crowds. We miss the biggest show of leaves but enjoy the visit so much more.

Aunty! While you were gone I burned down my blog and changed my name and photo.

YOU went on a glorious trip to see the leaves changing and I'm quite jealous. :-) Glad you're back.

Those pics are just stunning Aunty. We are in the throes of spring right now so we have blossoms on the trees and the flowers are out in bloom. Isn't Mother Nature wonderful?

So pretty, thanks for sharing! Although we don't have as many deciduous trees out this way, I managed to get in a hike last weekend to see the aspens change, and soon the cottonwoods along the bosque will do so as well.

While you were gone, I was doing what I always do: bitching about fashion and the gub'ment.

There's nothing like fall to make one understand that the greatest painters in the world got nothing on Mother Nature and her fall finery. The only thing that comes close is Kodachrome slide film. Which either is being hoarded by some souls who will mourn it's eventual demise very deeply and those who find digital photography very offensive.
Waiting for the peak here in the midwest.

I like it better when there's just splashes of color too. Glad y'all are back safe.
