I Brake for the Leaves of Autumn!
Well, I’d like to, though I admit it’s not always possible!
A major road near my house is lined with gold – gold! – the leaves on the trees form a canopy above and cast a glow below. How often I wished I could stop right there for a photo, but I haven’t figured out yet a safe way to do it.
Fortunately, there are trees in the parks and side streets that provide plenty of opportunities to safely enjoy the fall colors in the neighborhood.
Recently, I was enchanted by this beauty at Coulon Park. I don’t know the name of the tree – perhaps you do? – I would love to have one in my yard.
The maple below was in the parking lot of my local grocery store. The red leaves stood out as if placed just so, by an unseen hand.
Closer to home, even the leaves on my car were beautiful today,
including this one which looked to me like an angel.
And I was reminded of the verse, “the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.”
I can hardly wait for that.

Wow, Susanne! Truly stunning captures of leaves! I think the one tree may be a pear tree according to Google Lens… I’ve seen some of these around. They are so gorgeous! I love your leaves captured on glass. I’m glad autumn is still colorful there! Some leaves are still hanging on but most of the show is over here 😦
Thanks so much, Terri! I never would have guessed a pear tree! Some trees here have already lost their leaves, but many are still changing into their glorious fall dress!
We will both enjoy it while we can!
Gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing these images, had me smiling and appreciating our beautiful world. Hugs, C
I’m so glad! Thank you very much!

Love the photos and yes I too am waiting for the healing of nations….

Beautiful. This is my favorite time of year.
Thank you. My favorite too! At least until spring comes! 😊😊
Gorgeous colors Susanne. I love the bottom two particularly.
Thanks so much, Graham.
I will be ceasing my blog at the end of this week due to major upheavals in my life. I have enjoyed your posts, especially those about your animals. All the best to you and your family.
So sorry to hear it. Thank you for your comment. Much grace to you.
Thank you.
I think you would enjoy what’s happening right now in Central Park!
I bet I would!! Someday I would like to come and see!!
So many beautiful leaves, and you captured them perfectly, Susanne.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks so much, Pete. 😊
Such stunning colours! We’re heading home from our trip to Madagascar and it’s great to be reminded of the joys of a Northern Hemisphere autumn 🍁
Thanks so much, Sarah! I love fall colors. And a trip to Madagascar sounds amazing, too!
I always hate when I find a gorgeous spot, but nowhere to take a good, safe photo. Love your choices. That one does look like an angel!
Thanks so much!
such brilliant colors. I love the one stuck to the window with rain
Thank you. 🙂
