This time of year, I really wish I had trees whose leaves turned brilliant colors. Alas, mine generally just fade into brown.
Same tree a few days later (and Tony has moved between these two images) an a lot more brown.

Luckily, I found some brightly colored leaves at my dad’s house!
I still have some splashes of color on my farm. The flicker provides some.

The mallow is still going strong. It doesn’t mind a cold, fall rain. If we don’t get a hard freeze, it will keep blooming until Thanksgiving.
My corn is turning, but there’s still lots of bright green in the buffer strip.
I even managed to get a mini pumpkin from my garden!
Of course, Sky is my assistant photographer. Boy, is he a great help!
I love this time of year.
