GLOWING CLOSEUPS – LATE OCTOBER

FOTD – October 27 – Late October

I keep thinking with each rainy period, the leaves will drop. They are dropping, but not quickly. Some are actually just at peak right now. It is very late for peak. The world outside is a jewel. I hope you aren’t tired of autumn quite yet. There are still a few more posts to come.

      I love the looks of winter, but I hate actually living through it. It’s slippery and messy, beautiful too, but cold, brrrr. Makes great pictures, but hard to live through.

    When I lived in France, our huge stone staircase and surrounding walls were covered in vines. I loved it and took zillions of photos of their red leaves and blue berries.
    And then, a little after, I filled zillions of bins with their leaves and pulled up tentacles and roots. (They strangled the stone pillars and pieces of stone were falling, endangering us and pedestrians). But gosh, there is such beauty around us.

      I always wonder how those ivy and other vine-covered homes survive. Vines are notorious for destroying the stones on which they climb and we have to rip in down whenever we see it lest it destroy our house too. But the vines are beautiful, often the brightest colors of any leaves. As long as it is growing somewhere else, it’s fine 😀

      Only the sugar maple give us quite that amazing color — and some years, they are more orange than red. This was on of those years. Except for the ONE maple right in front of our house which right now is gloriously scarlet. It never fails me — and THAT is what the picture is. I can only take those shots from my living room through the window. Otherwise, I can’t see that tree. Today it’s closer to bronze than red. This is the first day in which we can actually SEE that the season is drawing to its end.
