Gorgeous. I’ll take some pictures from Michigan over the weekend. Not as outstanding as eastern Pennsylvania or Vermont, but not bad.
– – This is about as good as it gets. Here in my area of SoCal, this time of year temperatures can range nighttime lows of 30-75 and daytime highs of 55-95. I’ve experienced 90 degrees and above on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. So some years we get a little color, like this, and other years green, or brown, leaves drop when the time comes. -R
The trees are just beginning to turn here in Western New York. I’m eager to see what FALL looks like in Indy when we’re at Bouchercon.
– – I envy you that trip to Bouchercon, George. Please be sure to say “Hi!” to everyone for me. Maybe there’s be some kind of B’con post on your blog? I bet you’ll have a great time. -R.
We’re having gorgeous fall weather here – 60s for the high and nice, crisp air – but too early for the leaves to start changing as yet.
It’s all in the perspective, however. I asked my mother if it was still so hot in Arizona and she said “No, it’s beautiful – 90.”
– – Wow, I call 90 hot. We had a long, hot summer (say, that sounds kind of familiar…) here, it seemed like March through September, and as I said above, there’s more hot weather to come. But I’m really enjoying the cool week we’re having now. -R
The crape myrtles were at their blooming best last month. If you can find a liquidambar tree, its leaves turn red and yellow.
– – Our crape myrtle didn’t bloom much this summer, It never gets a deep watering. In August I put the hose on it at a trickle for an hour and the tree started blooming within the week, but I only did that one other time as the hose has to be stretched across the sidewalk and I don’t want someone to trip and fall. -R
