A Last Look Before They Fall

Most of the leaves have fallen in my neck of the woods save, this grouping on our Wedding Tree. The colours vary from yellows, oranges, greens, browns to red. I don't recall this tree ever doing a grouping of leaves quite in this way.
Enlarge the picture and enjoy!

"Make hay whilst the sun is shining"

This is my wee Yard-Man. I'm not sure whether I out weigh this thing or not but it must be an interesting sight to see me driving it around the yard.

More leaves in the gutters to remove.


These two mushrooms had popped up in the grass. The one on the right was in the shape of a fat heart.


The maple tree in the back yard has just about dropped most of its leaves save a few in the background in yellow. I missed getting a picture of the tree in its complete yellow hat. One almost needs sunglasses to look upon it.




This tall, skinny tree had mostly turned its leaves to yellow as well.




The Wedding Tree, our weeping cherry tree, has some of the most beautiful rusty reds with greens and yellows and those still in the process of changing.
The front maple has dropped another load of leaves and still has a few more to drop. I mulched the first batch of them last week. This week is raining lightly and just enough to cancel any lawn work. The Irish call this "a soft day." The rain and humidity seems to hang in the air.

Unbelievable

It has been said that any landing one can walk away from is a good landing when flying an airplane. The odds of this pilot coming away from this landing were slim to none.

Take a look at this video.
