The heavier the mists, the soggier the ground. The pond expands, the grass wavers between greening and yellowing and the tamarack needles are bright as pumpkins on a white porch. The crab apple outside my office window is full of autumn hues; it looks like my own burning bush with flaming leaves. The round red apples continue to delight dogs, horses and people and a creamy rose buds as if taunting snow-dusted peaks. Life on Elmira Pond in northern Idaho is colorful.

Just love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThe grass not knowing whether to go green or gold, I feel both energized and sleepy this time of year!
DeleteI love that flaming crab apple tree! Thank you for sharing the leaves in your area. I swear I can smell autumn!
ReplyDeleteIt does work itself on our senses!
DeleteBeautiful! I especially love the first picture but I adore roses...any time of year.
ReplyDeleteDid you see Geoff's post on his UK November garden? He has flowers and roses blooming. Well, because of that, I thought I'd look--and there, buried beneath old stems was a bud. I love roses, too and live in fear that I'm going to kill them. :-) Never had much luck until I moved here. Hope it holds!
DeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteNature expressing its vivid colors!

It seems that those colorful expressions of nature are endless! Thank you!
