BLOG BREAK

It's time for me to take blog break. I look forward to visiting everyone else's blog while I'm taking this break!

Enjoying A Nice Day Outside!

Last week my hubby and I went to this great Mediterranean restaurant that I just love! We were lucky enough to have a nice lunch, while sitting outside, enjoying the beautiful autumn day.
It looks as if our short Indian summer is now over, because the cold has obviously arrived here. I'm sure everyone remembered to turn their clocks back last night. Oh, how I'll miss those warm days full of sunshine and long afternoons!

Autumn Colors In My Back Yard

Last Sunday while out enjoying my backyard, I took photos of the all the different autumn colors. Above and below are photos of one of my Magnolia trees.

It was late in the afternoon when I took these photos and the sun was shining just right, which made the colors of the leaves even prettier.

Above are my summer sweet bushes, along with my magnolias and service berry trees.
Three seasons out of the year my service berry trees are real show stoppers. Early in the year they have profuse white blossoms. In the middle of summer they get dark red berries that are delicious and healthy to snack on. Then in October the colors are so beautiful, with the leaves ranging from blazing red, to bright orange. I'm fortunate enough to have three of these trees in my back yard.
Above is a view of the corn field and the end of my property. It's so peaceful and pretty sitting out back on warm autumn days. I thought it best to capture the fall display on camera now, because soon enough winter will be rolling in and the trees will no longer have their beautiful color palate.
