And Then It Was Gone

I took these pictures from my desk in the kitchen on Friday. The last of the fall colors on a grey, rainy day. The winds came through and blew all weekend and it was gone! I'm glad I took the photos when I did! The last bit of autumn color! It was a gorgeous season! The next beautiful thing will be snow on the branches, but I'm not quite ready for that just yet!
Did you have a nice weekend?

  3. I totally agree with you about the Fall colors being gorgeous this year.
    Some of our leaves are still trying to holding on.

  4. Christine ~ take one last photo! :) It was actually warm this weekend...in the 60's but grey and windy.

  5. It just takes one day of wind to clear all the leaves from the tree branches. I do believe Fall has "been here and gone". Need to get out the rakes and get to work now. Mickie :)

  6. There's a tree across from my house that has vibrant red leaves. It's so pretty! I'm going to miss it when all the leaves are gone.

  7. At least you get some colour, very little of it in the wide brown land. Although spring is springing and the Jacarandas are beautiful at the moment. There's nothing like a northern Autumn.

  8. Hi Betsy .. beautiful photos - the reds/pinks/oranges are so gorgeous at this time of year.

    I too am definitely not ready for snow - who knows what's coming our way ..

    Cheers and enjoy your week .. Hilary

  17. It was so beautiful here too just a few days ago, then like you it was gone. We don't get much snow around here but yes, snow would be nice! :-)

  18. Our seasons move forward together like old friends heading towards a familiar destination. Given the distance between us, the synchronicity of our weather patterns is amazing. You could have taken those photographs from my kitchen window.

  19. Alan, that really is amazing! I'm glad the views from our kitchen windows are like old friends! :)

  20. a lovely weekend thanks for asking.

    the weather was perfect - perfect for days of yard work (play) raking and bulb planting!

  21. it was a lovely weekend! We still have some leaves on the trees but there is a storm on the horizon this week that'll take care of those.

    I don't want the white stuff. YUCK

  22. These photos are stunning! They're sure to keep you warm all winter long.

  23. Looks like fall is coming to an end huh? Those leaves were so enjoyable while they lasted. I just LOVE your 'thankful list' in your sidebar. I'm thankful for you! =) XO

  26. I had a wonderful weekend, Betsy, and noticed the lack of leaves too. I also realized I still had some nice fall pictures to put on my blog this week, but they don't match the gray coloring that now is the only color outside my window. I'll keep posting fall photos until that first snow comes...hopefully not in the near future.

  28. Pat ~ haha
    Of course it doesn't make you fret

    Each is better than the one before

  29. I love fall and although winter is also just as beautiful, my bones ache so I shudder to think about snow. lol
    But I do love a change of seasons cause it forces you to move and live life to the utmost.

  30. Gorgeous colours. It would be so boring if every season was the same.

  31. jenny ~ that is so true. I love the change of the seasons! Each one is lovely in it's own way!

  32. I posted a photo Saturday of trees that had turned yellow overnight. Today I notice they are almost completely bare after the storms blew through over night. I'm not ready for snow yet either.

  33. The wind has taken most of the leaves here as well...At least the bittersweet vine in the garden is loaded berries. I wish we had the beautiful colors for a while longer.

  34. Fall has been gorgeous here this year. We're expecting hard rain later tonight that will surely knock the rest of the leaves down. Sniff.

  35. Wow, such vivid colours, I'm glad you shared them with us.
