Fall Foliage Fotos (Phall Pholiage Photos)

Sugar maple and red tree

The Treasure Valley is nearing its fall foliage peak and I'm very pleased that my entire neighborhood is coloring up wonderfully! Back in Napa we had respectable fall color, but now that I'm living in an area with "real" seasons I'm being treated to dazzling colors. All of these photos were taken around my garden, but I must say that some of these views are "borrowed" from my neighbor's yards (meaning this is the view I have from my yard of their trees).

Last fall we bought this house but we weren't able to move in until last spring. Until we moved in, my in-laws took care of the house for us and they said that our Japanese maples didn't color up last year, the leaves just turned brown and fell off. I don't know what happened last year but this year they're giving us quite a show! I'm very pleased.

 

 

Golden hosta leaves

I never knew that hosta leaves colored up for fall! Wow!

Below is a slide show that I made of my phall pholiage photos (fall foliage fotos). Oh, and there's some phlowers (flowers) too!

 

Enjoy!

  7. Thank you thank you! The season is still progressing so I'll be taking many more photos. The river habitat seems to be coloring up last, but I'll be keeping an on it eager to photograph it!
