Once November arrived we really began to take notice of the change outside. Fall is even more apparent around here now with all of the beautiful colors. The leaves have been falling and covering the areas below, occasionally blowing to a new location with a bit of a breeze or gust of wind. All the while giving most everything a topping of leaves.
Showers of rain, and leaves, have been taking place at late. While some days have just been a bit wet and misty. The freshly cut grass provides a clean slate, if only for an afternoon! It's a pretty sea of green surrounded by the many colors of Fall. Although, the grass will be dormant before long, and then I'll surely be missing its green color.

And soon, there will only be the green of the evergreens among all the other trees, which will be bare. Some of the trees have become bare more quickly than others. I feel the change coming all too quickly!
My Crepe Myrtle tree really stands out with it's show of fall colors. Its leaves change color and drop rather quickly. This tree offers many different looks throughout the year. It was only about two-feet tall when I planted it, a discounted find from the local nursery, which I hoped would survive with a little tlc and some love. So far, so good! The green seen here will be gone all to soon, and will be missed until next spring!
Seeing the beautiful fall colors while out on a drive makes me wish to be an artist, a painter, and paint the beautiful scenery viewed from all different directions around me. Like individual oil paintings, each spot of sight is a new, and interesting picture. I guess I've fallen for fall with being captivated by the look of it, I must have caught the fall-fever!
One thing is for certain, like it, love it or not, we are in the midst of the fall-season. Fall can be messy, wet, and even cold. But, it is undeniably ...beautiful!
