The morning light slants golden into my yard today as the maples leaves are drifting to the frost-tipped grass. One of those perfect autumn days when the whole world looks alive with fall colors. I had spotted some gorgeous ginkgo trees on a drive and they were my destination. So instead of taking a hum drum exercise class this morning, I hopped on my bike, wound a scarf around my face, and went leaf peeping. Here's what I found.

| Beautiful blue sky this morning |

| Red maple |

| Love this one. The blanket of golden leaves looks like a reflection |
 |
| Surpringly, on the Prairie Path there were fewer pretty leaves. |

| 3 beautiful ginkgo trees outside Ahlgrim's Funeral Home. |

| I wonder why they chose to plant ginkgo? |

| The morning son perfectly illuminated these beautiful red maple leaves |

Love this book. Need one for central North America.
Also found a great website--Arborday.com that helps identify leaves |

Amazing blanket of ginkgo leaves.
Another admirer and I decided we didn't want to walk through them. Gorgeous! |

| Love these ginkgo |
Julie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your leaf-peeping walk. Your fall pictures are FABULOUS!
Magnificent glorious trees blazing God's wonder.
Wow!

Oh my, Julie, these just got better and better. I love the contrast of the maples with the dark bark toward the end, but that blanket of ginkgo leaves-wow! It deserves to be enlarged and framed, don't you think? Thanks for the leaf peeping!
