It has been a very hot autumn for us but today, finally the crisper air has arrived. Fig leaves, very common locally, turn a beautiful bright yellow. I have noticed they even grow spontaneously in many impervious places. Last year I snapped the photo below for future reference. I love how the tree displays its various stages of life. It is a beautiful time of year to observe nature at its subtlest and most poignant point.
I hope you are enjoying a beautiful day!
Celia, this is very lovely. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment and for stopping by Carol!
DeleteLove all your beautiful green...
ReplyDeleteand I enjoyed the link bringing me to a beautiful house, buckets of figs and a reference to the incomparable book Room with a view...
Lucky you...In Montreal, figs are very expensive fruits!
That was last year about this time, the figs did not do well this year, we had too much rain. I appreciate your visit Martine, enjoy your week!
DeleteWhat phenomenal colors, Celia. I hope you won't mind me saying they make me think of Matisse's Morocco paintings, which I think are some of his most beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFall is a lovely time ...
I am humbled by your comment, thank you so much Laura!

ReplyDeleteThank you Jane, it is a great time of year for people who love color, can't get enough! I wish you a wonderful week! :-)
DeleteNice colors in your painting of the leaves and the tree! We have a little color here but it isn't really at its peak. We've had rain for the last two days and I'm not sure what that will do for our color for the weekend. I'm hoping to get out and paint some trees. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your trees Joan! It is fun to play with the mixing of colors in the leaves, thank you for visiting!
