  1. What a lovely time of the year to watch the trees. I´m living in Iowa. Autumn is so colorful here. I can´t stop taking pictures of the leaves and trees.

    I´m taking advantage to teach my third graders the leaf shapes and their colors. Your post, and your blog in general, is very helpful. Thank you.

  2. Genevieve,
    thanks for the tree leaf colors list. When I look off to the mountains I can realize, by color, what possible trees might be in their fall colors.--barbara

  3. The trees are beautiful this year. I am enjoying them as I drive to and from work. I am hoping that before they all fall, I will have time to take a nice walk and take lots of pictures.
