Mom and I had a fall feeling on our morning walk the other day. It was in the low 40’s, there was a lot of gold, some fallen leaves and some leaves in bright colors already. We think the weather has all the plants and nature itself a bit confused.
We love our big, white snowball bushes at home but we also love the pretty pink ones that are popping up all over the place. They give off a whole different feeling from our white ones.
It was a perfect morning for a walk and being in the low forties it really gave us a fall feeling. The puddles from the rain the day before were still around but the sun was shining and it was very pretty outside. There was no wind, so I am not sure why my head furs were looking a bit odd.
We came across a very confused Maple tree. It seems to not have any clue what to do with its leaves. Some look like they have had too much water, others are a pretty green and then the red ones are more of a dark pink. Poor tree needs some help.
The plants around the ponds and streams we passed look fall like. They have a lot of dried plants or golden/yellow plants.
Here is another Maple tree that has some confusion but at least the part that decided to turn red for fall is really red. We would love to know why only certain parts of the tree are turning and the rest not at all.
One more photo of me with some fall looking foliage behind me. Early morning when the sun is just coming up seems to give the prettiest golden tones of all. Later in the day things are not quite as pretty.
I’m joining my friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
