Beech in the morning.
Beech in the afternoon, with an oak rising through.

So many leaves have come down in recent days. I'm looking at a changed palette and a different view every day. We've reached the point where, if the sun isn't shining, it looks and feels very much like November out there. But when the sun is shining, I'm convinced there's still plenty of time to transplant raspberries, build more raised beds, and plant tulip and iris bulbs.

I reckon autumn is the fastest changing time of year.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about that, but I will now :)
DeleteIt seemed like most of the leaves on the trees down by the river (only feet from our building) fell in one night. Yesterday we had rain and that took care of a lot more. So sad to see them gone.
ReplyDeleteYes, wind and/or rain make such a difference!
DeleteBeaches are my favorite fall tree, they gild the woods in November. I still have bulbs to plant too, and garden ideas, which Larry has firmly said no to! He is tired of gardening this time of year!
ReplyDeleteOne of Barbara Kingsolver's novels mentions huge beeches in - I think - your region, and it made me want to head right down and have a look!
DeleteI enjoy the rusty golds.
ReplyDelete(I have so much gardening prep I keep putting off!)
I've got so many steps that need to be done before the actual planting, it will be loaves-and-fishes stuff if I get those bulbs planted in a timely manner.
DeleteLovely perspectives and color. I grew up in a beech forest, and miss it so.

What a great place to grow up! I vividly remember the first beech stand I walked into, but I was in my late 20s. I'm so lucky to have beech on my property.
