Thanksgiving 30 Day Challenge: Day 25
A hard frost late last week put an end to all the beautiful fall foliage. So yesterday my husband and I spent a good 6 hours gathering leaves (yes, we have that many) for the compost. I caught a glimpse of this Japanese Maple leaf as the morning light shone through it. It was a stunning glow and was extra special as it was the last one hanging on.
Yes, it's that time of year. I have spent several hours the last couple of days raking leaves. But it's been so warm and sunny it's pleasure to be outside.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I have to look high and low to capture some leaves with Autumn colors.
ReplyDeleteI love Japanese maples and wish I had one. Lucky you! Those leaves are stunning. I still have a few hanging onto my dogwood. They just refuse to give up.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you tried the Upside Down turkey method!! Hooray for easy and effective!!! :o)
It never occurred to me in my Southern garden, that frost would affect autumn leaves!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful treasure to have found in your garden!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty leaf! I love Japanese maples.
ReplyDeletecomposting is one of the most satisfying operation when it comes to find a reason for why do we spend so much time collecting leaves every year !
