Once fall arrives in Western Washington...it REALLY arrives. We have been combating the leaves for a few weeks now, but they have really begun to fall now. It is amazing how the weather turns and nature goes at it preparing for the upcoming colder weather. However, before all of the leaves fall off of our trees, we thought we would share some of our wonderful fall colors. Enjoy!
Here's a shot of the backyard. The main tree there is the one with the bird feeder!
Here's a shot in the direction of Cottonwood stump. As you can see, leaves every where!
A close-up of some of the Big Leaf Maple Leaves...they are BIG.
Beautiful yellow color...look at all of that work to come our way!
We're not the only ones with great fall colors. The Tolt Pipeline Trail is just splendid!
Indy checking things out and wondering why she can't be in the backyard too. The answer would be that if one of us can't watch her, she likes to go explore. So we keep her contained when we are busy and let her out when we can keep a close eye on her. Regardless, she is happy!
Pretty red...this is a smaller Japanese Maple on the side of our house. We can't wait for it to get BIG!
