Color in "My Kingdom"
This post isn't profound, it's just what brought me the most joy today. I thought it wasn't going to be a very good color year. I've decided that the yellows aren't so good, but the reds and oranges are quite lovely. The picture above is trees across the railroad tracks with morning sun highlighting them.
As I walk over the hill toward the cemetery, this mulberry is one of the few trees on the hill that isn't a white pine.
Once I get to the cemetery, the colors are always stunning. I don't know if someone purposely chose which trees to plant 100 years ago, or if it's just chance, but there is always a variety of color- reds, oranges, gold.
This is my favorite. Doesn't it look peaceful?
OK, just for fun... how do you find an orange dog in the orange leaves?

That's peaceful.
RIP.
Is Maggie exploring the so-called peacefulness?
lol.
Found her, almost dead centre in the last photo :-)
The colors are beautiful. I love the cemetery shot. I drove by one yesterday and thought about stopping since I had my camera with me but I didn't. Now I wish I would have.
Love that last one very cool Maggie Cammo
I spy!
I like that cemetery better than the ones with the endless grass.
It took a few but I found Maggie.:)
Shake the treat bag?
Autumn was always my favorite season back east, and I love old graveyards, so that next to last picture is my favorite.
beautiful colors
I wouldn't have known Maggie was there if you hadn't said so, lol
Love the colors of fall :)
rainfield- it IS peaceful. Sometimes there is someone visiting a grave, and then Maggie and I just stay in the field. I prefer it empty.
John- yup...
Ann- she disappears really well. Time to get out her orange vest. Always take that camera, and don't be afraid to stop! Wish I would always follow that advice
Dennis- I like making you wistful for the east. That west coast thing is over-rated.
betchai- one of the most wonderful things about this part of the country!
Ivy- do you get a season like this at all? Have you ever seen colored leaves?
Not here, lol. I've spent a couple of Octobers and Novembers in the US though...
some nice autumn colours in your posts.
The leaves are beautiful, especially in the cemetery shot. It's the perfect place to sit and have a chat with old friends and relatives who are buried there. What a peaceful resting place. Maggie definitely blends in!
