Fall ride

The high temperature at our house was 82 degrees today. It was a good day for a bike ride and the fall colors are at their peak, so Ted and I mounted up and admired the yellows, oranges, and reds in our neighborhood.

I mentioned in years past that I think everyone in this area planted at least one redbud for its spring flowers (we planted three) and at least two burning bushes (we have six) for their fall color. This house is near ours and has two old, huge burning bushes growing side-by-side. What a display!

The pictures below tell the story. Enjoy the yellow, orange, and red colors.

Here’s a tree that’s losing its leaves from side-to-side. According to this tree, fall is half over.

As we biked the last mile, we saw this view at one of the lakes near our house. It shows a variety of colors in a single scene.
