| On the Street Where We Live 10/27/14 |
We recently saw SO much Autumn Beauty on our vacation to the Maggie Valley area... I didn't think we'd get to see anything nearly as pretty once we got back home. For you see, we have had a very DRY late Summer and Fall here at home. So many of the leaves on the big trees just turned brown and fell off... SO---we weren't expecting to see much color here.
However, we did find (and continue to find) quite a bit of color in our area --since the leaves are hanging on longer than usual this year (which indicates a frigid winter upcoming).... Today--I'll share with you some pictures around our yard... One of them is my header this month. There are two more on my Photo Blog (click
HERE for those two pictures). Hope you enjoy the Fall Photos from Fairfield Glade, TN! (Click on them for enlargements.)

Well---that's it!!!! As you can see, the last of these pictures were taken on 10/30. It was on 10/31 and 11/1 when we had that big storm (rain/ice/snow--and lots of wind).. Needless to say, I'm glad I took these pictures before that storm!!!!!
Have a wonderful day and get out and enjoy nature!!!! We are definitely 'enjoying' it right now---picking up leaves--leaves---leaves in our yard!!!!! Fun Fun...
Hugs,
