| The gorgeous Maple Tree in our Front Yard |
WELL-after coming home from our Kentucky trip on Friday (10/25), we had nothing but clouds and dreary skies here --UNTIL the following Wednesday. We woke up Wednesday morning to beautiful sunshine and blue skies --and it looked as if our trees around here had all changed colors OVERNIGHT. Of course, we just 'had' to get out and take some photos. SO---today's post will show some Autumn Colors around our yard and the Fairfield Glade area. All pictures were taken on 10/30/13. Be sure to enlarge the photos for better pictures.

How are the Fall Colors at your home???? We have had a VERY dry end of Summer and Fall--so I wasn't sure we'd have any pretty color at all this year. Glad we have had some!!!!
Have a great weekend. NOTE: Glad I took these photos on Wednesday ---since we had so much WIND on Thursday that many of the leaves have come down!!!!!! Now--it's busy times ahead for me, blowing and raking leaves!!! Fun fun!
Hugs,

Wonderful wonderful autumn shots!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best Autumn colors I have seen for 2013!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Betsy & George!
Don't have color anywhere near that gorgeous yet. Have had some ugly weather though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful are the photos, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
So very pretty, Betsy.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend.
beautiful bursts of color. Just what I needed on this drab rainy morning
ReplyDeleteHI Betsy your shots are truly 'Autumn Glory'. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteWow, what fantastic autumn colors in your yard and neighborhood. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
Betsy - I posted a similar blog earlier this week. I'd mostly finished putting the yard away for the winter. You have many more colors in your leaves than we do this year. I think our trees suffer from the dry fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour! The colors are just starting to get ramped up here. It has been a very late season. I imagine that the wind and rain storm last night took down a lot of leaves. It has been one of the poorest fall color shows in our valley area for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteStopped by for an early morning stroll! Lovely to see the sun and the colors! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI swear, if I had a yard like yours, I don't think I'd want to go traveling. What a glorious work you've both created with the flowers each season and now this heavenly golden glow of Autumn?!!! Stunning.
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful warm colors!
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask if yesterday's wind had an impact, but you beat me to it with your last sentence!! Up there on the plateau you are a bit ahead of us here, but the colors in the city are simply beautiful. Wind never got all that bad here even though we had an advisory, so I'd say we're in store for a gorgeous weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the pretty colors of the autumn!! love the photos.
ReplyDeletehave a great day, Betsy!
Beautiful Autumn photos. You have so much more color than we do.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly beautiful shots, Betsy! Such a gorgeous time of year and you don't even have to leave home to enjoy all that color!! It is very windy here today, so I'm sure we will be losing a lot of our leaves soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy!
ReplyDeletegreat Autumnal colours, I am sure I can see pink as well as the rich orange shades! beautiful, vivid pictures, autumn where you are is prettier than ours, I'm glad you share your pics! x x have a lovely weekend x x
Gorgeous fall color indeed, Betsy. Ours in Bluff Country was a big disappointment. Some years good. Others not so...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours! Looks like it did here about 3-4 weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteyour trees are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteHello Betsy, The Autumn colors around your home is most spectacular. The Maples are just flaming with color and your home blends in with them all.. Very Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color...great shots! You certainly live in a pretty place!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors!! Vol Fan kept hoping the wind direction would change yesterday to carry out leaves away from our yard. Haha! But it didn't so I know what we will be doing this weekend too!!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are so pretty. I love Fall but I don't like the falling leaves they are every where. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteStunning beauty so fabulously captured.

These are gorgeous, Betsy. You've apparently had a much more glorious fall than we have. The shots of the lakeshore are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe open plan of your neighbourhood shows the trees off to perfection - such a natural looking setting. The vivid and various Autumn shades are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese are stunningly beautiful autumn images, Betsy. Everything looks so restful and full of peace. May you have a wonderful weekend. Blessings, Jo
ReplyDeleteYou have the most amazing autum pictures. Anyway, you gave me an idea. How do you write or makea qoutes appear on your sidebar? Amazing quotes.
ReplyDeleteSuch glorious colors and isn't it wonderful to be surrounded by them!! Terrific captures as always, Betsy!! Hope you have a lovely weekend -- do take a break from raking and take time to have some fun as well!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got those pictures before the wind brought them all down. Our trees were lovely too. We had a frost so that brought some of the leaves down and then wind. whew!! I posted some pics a few days ago. I love the colored leaves on the ground. Love your header. MB
ReplyDeleteBetsy, Your fall photos are the best! Just terrific! You're right about one thing for sure... Now we have to get after all of those leafs... Lots of work to clean up. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeletedear betsy,
ReplyDeletewhat a spectacular!
fantastice fall photos! make me feel serene, just looking at them!
ah, your photos are always worth the look, betsy!
do have a lovely, relaxing weekend!
big big hugs~
Beautiful trees, Betsy! Ours are really pretty, too, right now. We've had some much needed rain over the last 3 days, so they probably won't last much longer. I love the fall colors!
ReplyDeleteI'll need to come back when I have more time (something I never seem to have enough of) and see what I've missed while on blog break. Have a great day and weekend, too!
These are just glorious!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are surrounded by gorgeous colour.I just love seeing all that beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour maple tree is beyond beautiful, it is stunning! We used to have one just like it in the center 0f our front yard, but very sadly it got sick and had to be cut down. It just looks beautiful where you are, and of course your house with the green makes it even prettier! I am SO glad you mentioned your quotes, I never noticed them! Now I will. LOVE them all, will you be adding t0 them or changing them? The mountain one I love and also the one about change.
ReplyDeleteLovely sots, the oaks just started turning down at the farm.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, lovely Autumn colors. Your yard and trees are beautiful. Happy November to you!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular colors. Our trees are pretty much bare now.
ReplyDeleteI want to come to Tennessee sometime to see you in the fall...your colors are stunning!!

Ah Betsy, I am so envious of your maples. When I saw my first red maple, I had to have one and I did. Mine however has never shown red, but orange. Pretty, but I really wanted the red. Sigh. Enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteOctober was beautiful and Halloween fun - but I am ready for November and all those beautiful trees and leaves turning color. So pretty. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove, sandie
Your yard and surrounding area is simply gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing how beautiful the trees become in the fall. Autumn is my favorite season. I can never get enough of all the warm colors. I love that Maple tree it looks like God gave it a beautiful paint job.
ReplyDeleteThere are some beautiful shots there Betsy. I love the fall colors and really enjoy seeing your fall pictures.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Fall colors Betsy, ours have been rather muted this year. Pretty but not as many reds in the leaves. Loved yours!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had gorgeous colors and shared them. We have a few occasional trees with colors but like someone else has said, our hills are muted- - - - lots of brown and gold. Oh well - - still pretty but not brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThat first lake shot is gorgeous! The colors and the sky are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe finally got some color here but it was a little too late. We needed more cold days that never happened. We got the golden colors but the reds for the most part are missing. I took some photos yesterday because we had wind too.
really makes ur house sing. with all those colors. gorgeous fall views. ( ;
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful your Maple tree is! You have so much beauty all around you. Our fall was pretty, most of the leaves have fallen, the oaks are the last to do so and they are a dull brown now. We had a fairly warm fall but two mornings last week Mark had to scrape the frost off the windshield! Today is very chilly-in the 40s!
ReplyDeleteYour photos was wonderful...love all the glowing beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to believe that we are into November. Another year will soon be gone. sigh.. Where does that time go?
ReplyDeletexo Catherine
The colors are amazing!
ReplyDeleteWind here today too. Leaves sure are flying.
Hi Betsy, what a spectacular sight. Autumn is falling right at your feet wherever you wander.
ReplyDeleteBetsy
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the colors of your country, all kinds of red, orange, yellow and so on! Then, come in Novembre, and all it's life in color!
Great week and a big, big hug!!!
Bia
Lots of beautiful color! Looks great with your green house. Just seeing the really pretty color here. Need to get out with my camera.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a yard full of beee-utiful! Have a great week- where are you and George off to next?
ReplyDeleteGolden, red, auburn, burnt orange- you've got them all around your house! You're right about it being a dry end of summer, because some of our trees said "too tired", turned brown and just threw their leaves to the ground! Ha-ha, I have thought often of you and George and your coming work of bagging leaves! We have a few trees/bushes coloring now, which is good to see. Our lawn is also still green...hope we don't have to mow one last time :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I truly enjoy your quotes/thoughts/pictures on the sidebar...thanks for spending the time finding them for "me", they DO make a difference! (Always like the ironboarding surfer lady, please keep her in the mix!)
have a super week,
hugs,
Liz in Mississippi
What beautiful colors! Can't decide which is my favorite. I think maybe the top one at the lake with the contrast in colors. Love the orange and reds up against the blue water and sky!
ReplyDeleteThe colors at your house were magnificent Betsy, I love those maple trees. Our colors were beautiful this year too but like your place the wind and rain hit us on Saturday. Now it's time to rake.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Your maple tree is gorgeous, Betsy! Your area is really in peak autumn color now.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote by John Muir on your sidebar -- so true!
What beautiful photos! You sure do live in a wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors Betsy!! You are like I am right(or should I say write) now with blogging.....not my favorite time of the year to blog. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.....I love all your pics of your visits:) Happy holidays!
