This fall the colors here in the Sierra Foothills are popping! The trees and shrubs are brilliant this year and I think it has to do with the stress of the drought. When driving around the area I almost feel as if I was on the east coast! Grabbing the camera yesterday, between the drops of rain, I headed out to capture some of this beauty! Heading out to my yard I capture these beautiful colors that surround us!
Fallen black oak leaves
The lovely colors on the smoke bush
Varied colors of the pistachio tree
Golden hazel nut leaves
A view of the trees in our area
Barberry on fire!
Crepe Myrtle leaves floating in the bird bath
Hearts from the red bud tree
Stars of the liquid amber
Aren’t they colors amazing? We are blessed to have this beauty around us!
Thanks for taking the time today to drop on by! Have a terrific Tuesday and be well! ^..^
G’day Gorgeous photos beyond words today Barb! Thanks for brightening my day!
Thank you Joanne! Hugs and be well!
Beautiful photos of a spectacular time of year. Thanks!
It sure has been colorful this fall hasn’t it? Thank you Marcybee!
Our leaves are almost all gone. Naked tree pictures are about all I could manage from here. Your colours are gorgeous.
Naked trees can be beautiful too! Look closely at the bark when it is wet! 🙂
Gorgeous images – I particularly like the leaves in the water!
Thanks Kathy! That caught my eye a couple of days before taking that shot. Glad it remained as it was! 🙂
Nature’s palette of autumn, very nice. The photo of ‘trees in our area’ reminds me of growing up near the Poconos in Pennsylvania, very colorful during the fall. Thanks for sharing.
I thought of the east coast as well! Thanks PJ!
Beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂
