October Sumac

A view from my backyard as autumn leaves surrender to the elements.

Leaves Like Fruit

I would almost think to eat one of these cold spotted leaves and find citrus.

Candy

Like citrus treats, lime, lemon, and orange. Their final fall a swirling candied dance.

Autumn Maple Leaves

Just weeks ago they were in full fall glory. Now just a memory, my image remains.

Late October

A row of Colorado cottonwood trees prepares for winter as their leaves are released.

If autumn is a sweet caress, winter is a kick to the groin. I’ll live in autumn just a bit longer.

I still have images from this Autumn and even though the leaves have all fallen, the color lives on in my head and computer. Hope you don’t mind.

Still clinging as of a week ago, some colorful leaves bearing fruit of some sort.

A Few Trees

Their leaves are falling quickly but there are still a few trees on my street that are so pretty they yield reluctantly, displaying leaves that are stunning and vibrant.
