Quick Change Artists

IMG 5931

I don’t know what got in to the trees but all of a sudden they are changing like crazy. In two days they’ve gone from looking blah to looking like autumn. I drove up to Warwick to return something and I couldn’t believe the amount of color just since Sunday when we were last there. So pretty! I needed a camera in my forehead to snap photos as I drove by.

It’s been drizzling all morning, and after I came home I decided the dogs needed a walk since they were bouncing off the walls. A little rain wouldn’t hurt us! I’ve been taking all three together instead of just Alex and Hailey and then coming back and doing it all over again with Bella. Bella pulls so hard! But somehow when I have all three Bella is much better. It works, much to my surprise.

Some of the leaves in the road caught my attention, so after putting the dogs in the house I grabbed the camera and headed back out. The black “canvas” of the street sets off their colors.

I thought this one looked like a red chili pepper!

And this one like the feather of a tropical bird.

Raindrops caught plunking into puddles.

I’m still not sure about this autumn and its show of colors. We are supposed to get heavy rains tonight so that will certainly not help. Then, this weekend we are expecting very windy weather. I don’t think the poor trees have much of a chance of attending the autumn masquerade ball in full regalia.

Don’t cry little burning bush, there’s always next year!

Love the plunking puddles photo (the first one)!  We’re starting to see some color around here too.

wow….love the water drops on the red leaves (burning bush photo)...right time at the right place kinda pic….way cool!

Carolyn, the sad part is that the leaves are not going to last this year. It’s more like a Colorado autumn than New Jersey. Quick to change: quick to go!

Debra, thanks~!
