Arboretum Colors

Recently I took a trip to the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River to see if the trees had started changing colors yet. There was a bit of color but it wasn't at it's peak by any means. I decided I liked the view of the barn with the fall veggies that were still growing...and the trees to add a pop of color. Hopefully I will get out this week to paint the colors since they are really starting to appear out here.

  3. So beautiful, Joan. I am reminded of the last couple of bike rides I took with Jeff and the gorgeous colors we've seen in our area this year.

  4. I enjoy seeing the leaves when there is still some green to balance all those warm colors - so this one is perfect for me. Love it!

    Tina, it is peaking here now. Hope tomorrow's wind doesn't blow all the leaves off the trees.

  6. This is absolutely gorgeous Joan!! How are you feeling being back at home? Are you seeing everything with fresh eyes? The first week or so after getting home from an exotic holiday always makes our familiar surroundings seem more vibrant and exciting don't you think?
