Very nice BR. Thank you. In the states our trees turn lots of colours and then the leaves fall from most of the trees. Are your seasons the same as ours or are they opposite from ours. I mean, like right now, September we are entering the beginning of fall.

Interesting, your photos look a lot like SW Iowa in the fall; the tall reddish grasses, hills and trees turning to gold.
The colors are starting to change quickly this year because it is so dry. The corn is almost all brown and the soy beans are the prettiest gold. Much of the grass is starting to change too. Maybe we can get away without having to mow one last time!

Karen, I am betting we don't get as much colour here in eastern KY as we usually do. Due to the lack of water. It was so dry here all summer. We have had only two absolutely perfect colour falls since I came here in 1997.

At the moment it is the 11th day of spring. It is a few weeks more advanced than the photos of my garden in the Yahoo album.
The magnolias are starting to bloom, that sort of thing.
These photos were taken last April. So we don't have a spring Easter.
We were one of the few people to water out the front occasionally where the liquid ambar tree is on the street. Our leaves lasted much longer and the seed balls came off when the leaves did mostly, so we were able to rake them up together. Even during winter we had some red leaves here and there on it.

I'm hoping we have a pretty autumn here in southern NY. I'll take pics for you all if we do.

These flowers are growing in a National Park. We took the photo while driving through in the middle of autumn, six months ago. They are everlasting daisies. If you were allowed to pick them they wouldn't wilt, but would dry.

How beautiful. So they are protected because they are becoming rare, or because they are in the National Park? In my home town of Michigan, you cannot pic trilliums. They are protected. But other places they grow in abundance and you can pick them.

The kids heard me talk about those flowers on that trip and the one before when you couldn't see them as well. You can tell I love them. Another favorite of mine is fly grass.
I have some other pictures of the park if you want to see them.
