Delightful findings

I spent most of the day walking around the backyard and down the dirt road in front of the house.  I found these images and thought they were good enough to share with those of you that still drop by from time to time.
 
I hope you enjoy them. 
 

Light shining through some leaves. 


I saw this bunch of leaves and thought they were pretty.  I took a photo but didn't realize how nice they looked until now. 


An old neglected fence at the front near the road.  The home it belongs to is abandoned.  I love how the light is hitting the fence. 


Annie at the back of the property.  I'm not sure what she's looking at.  She probably looked away because I had the camera out.


Charlie walking through the multitude of leaves that have fallen in the past week.  Although this photo doesn't show it the leaves are a mix of brown, red, yellow/gold and a few green ones here and there.


Trees with very few remaining leaves.  I like this one against the blue sky and white clouds.  I took this from the dirt road in front of the house. 


Some trees have very few leaves left but some of them like this one is already starting to produce new buds. 


I like the bokeh in this this one and how the sun light shines through the leaves.

Pretty Simple


"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air..."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Photo of a branch with leaves that I thought was pretty.  I love how you can see the shadows of the leaves on the far side and the bokeh effect in the background.  Wishing everone a wonderful Wednesday.

Changes


"It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit."  
~Robert Louis Stevenson

Nothing spectacular about this photo of leaves.  I took it today while visiting a local park not far from home.  I thought it was pretty.

In Autumns Light

Autumn Grace

Photobucket


"No Spring nor Summer Beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face."
~John Donne


As far as I know this is a Chinese Tallow Tree.  It's my favorite tree in our yard.  I love it in the Spring when the leaves are green but as the temps here in Florida start to fall some and November approaches the leaves start to turn beautiful shades of yellow, red, orange and gold.  As you can see it's quite beautiful.  I spent a good part of the day outside standing around and under it snapping away.  By December 3rd we will no longer live at this address and my Tallow tree will remain behind for the next owners.  If only I could take it with me.

A little bit of Autumn


"Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
fluttering from the autumn tree."
~Emily Bronte


The leaves are from a tree in my backyard.
