Do Not Forget Us While We Sleep #ThursdayTreeLove

Fall is speeding by.  Soon the color show will be over, and we in the Southern Tier of New York State will be left with bare trees, bitter winds, and snow.

But not yet.

Let's enjoy some of the last of the fall color of our trees, and a memory or two.

Red...


 Yellow...

Majestic.   The color has been the best we've seen in several years.

Memories of an apple tree (Taken October 12).
 

Trees reach for the sky with the last of their leaves.  This was taken Tuesday; most of those leaves have blown off in the wind.

Fallen maple leaves litter the ground, waiting to be raked up.  The trees have given us their all.  Now, they stretch, yawn, and enter their winter sleep.

"Do not forget our beauty while we sleep through the next several months", they seem to say.

No, we won't forget.  We will count the months and days until we see them awaken.

  2. I have a tree in my front yard that went a GORGEOUS red over the weekend. And today the leaves are almost gone already! I was so sad to see them fall so quickly because it was just beautiful. But I know I will be happy again in the spring when all of the white buds start appearing on it.

  9. Those are amazing! The title of the post is the beginning of a poem. I actually thought it was part of a quote about the dead not wanting to be forgotten!
