Now it's time for the leaves to fall. It's the cycle of nature in the four season climate I live in. Many trees in our area go dormant so they can survive our harsh winters. The leaves aren't needed anymore. They have done their jobs. So the tree cuts them off from nourishment. They turn colors - their true colors, now that the chemicals that make the leaves green aren't needed to produce nutrition from sunshine.
And then they fall. But first, what a show the trees put on!
The color show has only begun here in upstate New York. This tree, which I think is a type of locust, will be bare in a few days. But many other trees are still green, or nearly so.
But the show has only begun.

Wow! You are lucky to enjoy this colour play by Nature every year!! We dont see Fall colours in my area but spring brings forth some spectacular new foliage. Waiting for more Fall foliage from you :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about fall is the comfortable weather and beautuful nature .
ReplyDeleteA thrilling time of year when the carnival of autumn is just beginning and there's so much to look forward to1
ReplyDeleteI love the color on that tree.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the weekend that I must make my trek to the Shenandoah. For though the colors may not be at their peak, the trees may be bare in 12 days...
ReplyDeleteIt's the time for the fall of the leaf. (Where the name for the season comes from.) Those leaves are a great color.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to follow a tree while time passes. When I move to a new place there are three things that are mandatory.
ReplyDelete1) A balcony
2) A bathtub
3) A tree I can see follow through the seasons.
That is a lovely tree! The trees here in PA are beginning to turn also. What a beautiful time of year.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things I miss about my upstate New York hometown, all the beautiful trees and watching the leaves change color.
ReplyDeleteFall colors is what I really want to see sometime in life. Sometimes I think I would cry of happiness so see all those colors. It would be so amazing. Thank you for that glimpse of fall colors. SO happy you joined.
ReplyDeleteI watched a tree in the campus that changes in summer; leaves dry up and fall, the tree looks bare and then comes rainy season and this tree starts turning green once again... its interesting watch the spectacular changes in trees:)
