Yup, FALL has arrived!!!!!!!!!

The sun was shining brightly on the leaves on this tree when I took this photo. It was a closeup but not a macro. I must have moved because the background is blurred BUT I kinda like it anyway. Be sure to CLICK on it to enlarge and see the details oh so much better!

Heart shaped leaf

Although ther were many pretty flowers, I think this is my favorite photo of the things that grow that I saw at Mt. Rainier.

Spotlight leaves. . .

When we were finished planting 1500 trees and plants at the park last Saturday, I walked through the big park to the other side and home again. . . That's when I spotted the way these leaves shone when all else was darker. It just takes that one ray of hope to light up something and it sure put the spotlight on these leaves that day.

Spot of beauty . . .

I have no idea if this was a flower, now spent, or is a weed BUT thought it was beautiful especially with the bark background. Aren't the leaves just the cutest thing? OOPS! I passed by that spot today and the background is a telephone pole. . . which I guess was a tree once upon a time. Ü
