Our autumn colors are quite beautiful, and the sweetgum trees (Liquidambar styraciflua) are especially showy. Their unique five-pointed, star-shaped leaves are now sometimes gold.
Or they may change to red.
And, as is often the case, this tree at our Arboretum contains a range of colors.
The rich mixture of colors brightens my day.
I saw that tree on a walk at the Arboretum yesterday, Betty. Thanks for capturing its beauty. Near the herb garden, there is a lovely katsura tree; its heart-shaped leaves are green with striking yellow veining. I saw some blazing sumacs, too. The Arboretum is especially beautiful now.
I totally agree, Patsy, and I feel quite fortunate to live close enough to visit it often.
All the way from bright gold to dark purple. Stunning!
Yes, Ann, seems rather magical to me.
LOVE your pictures, Betty!!!!!
Beautiful Autumnal colours Betty! And i have to admit this is my favourite time of year. Such a wonderful light for stunning photographs like the ones above.
At last, here in Jersey, Channel Islands we too are seeing some glorious colours
in our trees.
Pauline, glad to know you, too, are enjoying fall colors.
Beautiful shots Betty! I love the blue sky as a background 🙂
