Usually the three maples that we have around the front of our house turn a brilliant red, bright orange, and some yellow. This year they decided that it was all yellow for them. I don't know why, I'm sure some enviromental guru could probably explain it to me. Do you think we might have some raking to do? Looks like a job for the lawn mower. I'm all for recycling.
The yellow of the leaves is so vibrant, it looks like the sun is shining constantly. Which has been a very good thing because we have been socked in with rain for the last week.
When I would look out the window and see the yellow shining in, I couldn't help think of my Grandmother. She has long passed by now, but I remember her saying when they painted her house a bright yellow that now she would always have sunshine. Strange how unrelated things bring back memories. You just never know where you will find them, I suppose.
If you look at this picutre really close you will notice a small rainbow in the upper right hand corner.
I guess the trees are our gold. Hmmm.....who says your gold has to be monetary.
