Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.

Here is our beautiful Flaming Maple tree. This shot is taken from my front door.
Here's another view, notice the top of the tree is missing. It was severely damaged during the ice storm in December '07. We were afraid we had lost our gorgeous tree. It was okay with a little trimming after the ice melted away, but in May while we were hiding in the cellar during a tornado warning the top broke off & landed in our driveway. 
Long after other trees have lost their leaves, ours is just starting to show off.
Luckily we still have a tree full of leaves after the strong winds on Thursday. Hopefully we'll still have leaves on Thanksgiving Day!Stop by tomorrow, I may have a sneak peak of my new Thanksgiving tradition!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful tree. I am a gardener and I love nature!!! Have a beautiful day!!
ReplyDeleteBoy that little tree is strong to have gone through all of natures furry. Glad you all don't have hurricans! Ha I don't wish that on anyone. It's like an 8 hour tornado. Breakfast is waiting! yum yum
