This time of year, I can’t help but do a lot of staring at the trees. Enjoying all that Fall color that is now hanging in the trees, vines and bushes all over the area. Our backyard has fading grapevines that are now a vivid yellow. The dogwood trees have turned a burnished scarlet with red berries shining against the blue sky.
This is my second favorite time of the year, behind Spring of course. Spring is about growth, rebirth, and fresh starts. Fall is the fading of summer flowers, cooler temps, and those beautiful colors that paint the landscape. And I love this time of year too.
So, go with me on a stroll outside my neighborhood this Fall. My camera and I had a good time trying to capture the beauty that I see with my eyes.

Fading hydrangea.
I adore this little barn that sits beside a house on the way to my sister’s house. I drive by this house all the time on Blackwell Road and have always wanted to take a pic of it, so I stopped one afternoon just before dusk and captured this beautiful red door.
Isn’t it pretty?

Not sure what this tree is, maybe a gingko, but it’s right on our street. Love the heart-shaped leaves.
Beautiful fall trees turning with the season.
Dappled maple leaves dancing in the late afternoon sunlight.
I hope you will take time this Fall to enjoy the beauty of the season. Go for a walk and take a look at all the trees, with their beautiful changing colors. Nothing like getting outside on these gorgeous Autumn days with the blue sky and the changing leaves to get inspired!
Have you taken note of Fall this year! Don’t miss it while it is still around.

I live in the NW part of GA where the mountains are rolling hills and full of color this time of the year!
I love sitting on my front porch & soaking in all the freshness!

I just returned to Florida from Atlanta… oh yes, how nice to see some color on the trees.My grandsons and I took a day trip to the mountains to pick pumpkins… so much fall fun!
I love that barn as well!! I have a pinterest board that is just ‘doors” and I may have to add this sweet barn door to my board!
Love the red barn door! I believe that heart-shaped leaf pic is of a redbud tree. Lotsa’ purple flowers in the spring?
I know that barn! I drive by it on the way to work and I get a little charge out of it every time I see it. The color is shocking for the setting and yet it works!
Rhoda, these are gorgeous photos! Such lovely fall images!! We don’t get much of that here; so, it’s always nice to see photos of other parts of the country! I love the photo of the old barn with that vibrant red door. It just pops!
Love the pictures of the barn! Driven many times by it on our way to my in-laws house!
Still over the moon that I won the Hadley Pottery Thanksgiving Platter. Can’t wait to set the table! I want to convince my husband to leave South Georgia and the beach for a week end drive up to the Georgia mountains. Your pictures just encouraged me more. Thanks so much Rhoda! and Hadley!
Hi, Rhoda,
The tree you cannot identify is a Redbud, Cercis Canadensis. It bears those lovely heart shaped leaves during the summer and fall and amazingly beautiful pink flowers cover the branches in the Spring. Be sure to check it out again when it is blooming – it will make for some beautiful photographs.

I love the barn with the red door.
Lovely colours. Should I be totally embarrassed that I didn’t realize that Georgia had such a distinct change in season?
I really enjoy your blog! The tree with heart-shaped leaves is a redbud and the one in the last picture isn’t a maple, it’s a tulip poplar (the TN state tree…GO VOLS!).
Headed to my parents’ home near Helen this weekend–can’t wait!!! Thanks for the preview!
I love all the photos! They are perfect examples of fall in the South!
Thank you for sharing such pretty pictures! It’s raining and dark here today, so I really enjoyed it. They made my day:) I took some pictures of our fall colors last week and am thankful I did. Not much to look at here this week.
I’m here in Georgia as well. Although I do enjoy the change in color, after spending most of my years in New England, this just can’t compare. Love that red door!
