Beautiful fall colors

The Autumn colors have been simply gorgeous here this last week.  Even in rainy weather, I've been in awe of God's artistry all around me.
Tuesday was my day off.  We had pouring rain in the morning, but the sun came out in the afternoon and I had time to get out and take some pictures.  I'm sharing some here and I'm sorry for how many.  It's just so pretty!











































































Our street, our house is just past the pine tree on the left.



























Back on our street again, this time coming from the other direction.  






Home, sweet home.





The view from my window at work.





The leaves are pretty, but they fall down and are lots of work.






Here's Bob, blowing the leaves.






He even had to blow off the porch!






One last picture - this is our backyard.
I think by next week, many of those leaves will be down and the tree branches will be bare.
So, I'm enjoying this for as long as I can!

I don't blame you for posting so many tree photos. You have seen how many I post. I get so carried away. How could you NOT post such glorious beauty? I simply cannot choose a favorite, each one of these is exquisite. Your yard is stunning!! Just went back and looked at them all again. Still no favorites. Each one is a masterpiece.

Oh my word - poured over every pic!! So so beautiful!! God is the best artist ever! The leaves are all gone here and kids in the area will be trick-or-treating in snow. 🙈 Lol Blessings for a safe Halloween for all of your kiddos! xoxo

What a beautiful property you have. Fall is definitely in full color and yes, it won't take long for it to pass. To keep from complaining about all the leaves we do every single Fall, I remind myself, of the shade those leaves provide for us in our hot summers. We still have a way to go - but Fall is already showing off in the higher altitudes. You live in a really beautiful part of the country.

Beautiful. After our rainy windy days the leaves are pretty much gone.

You are smart to capture all of that beauty while you still can. Lovely photos!

Your pictures are beautiful, Mari! Most of our color is gone now since we've had alot of rain. Bob and Carroll have the same kind of fun ...blowing the leaves. I think Carroll is waiting until the rest of the leaves fall now before he does it again.

It has been a beautiful Fall up there in Michigan!! Your pathways and roadways are so idyllic. Storybook lovely!! Blowing leaves is so much easier than raking!! When I think of all the back-breaking raking I've done... Go Bob!! Great photos, Mari!! xo

Oh wow, your backyard looks gorgeous.
Fall is so pretty, and you've captured some lovely photos.

You leave in a very nice place. I love your house and all the tree around you, such beautiful golden, red colours!

Ugh Mari your tree color is SO off-the-charts stunning!!! I am glad you're drinking it all in and memorializing it while you can. Another year sliding off the calendar!!! BTW all your pictures are exceptional but that straight-on bridge shot is AMAZING. And I can still see myself sitting on your porch. Seems I never move. Just waiting for y'all to bring out the coffee and snacks and listen to me talk, hahahahaaaa xoxo

Beautiful pictures! Trees around here are pretty much bare now. I suppose yours are also. Gotta get through winter now.

Gorgeous Fall colors! Dont recall ever seeing a green barn before. In Ohio they are mostly white. Janice

Absolutely love these photos! Your work window and yard have the most beautiful views!
