Wordless Wednesday: autumn’s maple
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

Our weather hasn’t been that nice this fall but the leaves this year are more colorful than the last few years. But already the leaves are dropping and fast. 😦

So gorgeous and the light and background leaves make it look like a dream image.

Thanks, Dor! I was very pleased with the way that photo turned out. Of course, anything fall-like appeals to me. 🙂

Our trees are just barely turning so far, but I’ve seen a few trees that are a little further along than others. Nicely done!

Ours have already peaked and are starting to drop fast! 😦

Cindy, our beautiful leaves are all but gone from the Maples and Oaks – now, the starkness of the next season is making its grim self known. UGH!

We’re getting to that place of bare trees soon too. I agree with you — yuck.
