It happened so fast this year, first it got cold, then the leaves started to change, and a huge windstorm brushed them away. I never even really got a chance to show you the leaves of my ginkgo tree.
They stay green, and suddenly change to golden yellow, and in a flash they shower down to the ground. Well worth watching day by day, because if you miss a day, it’s gone.
Over, kaput!
And all the leaves are gone until the next spring.
Kind of reminds me of that Mama’s and Papa’s song...all the leaves are gone, and the skies are grey. I love that song.
Looking forward to spring, yes, that’s me.
But there is still beauty in the bare branches, especially when the sun shines on them in the afternoon.

I started singing that song as soon as I saw the first paragraph! Here the leaves fall a little each day, which is messy. But they are pretty to look at!

Gorgeous ginko leaves. Our trees have been 'naked' for awhile, now. Looks like you still have some nice autumn color...
ReplyDeleteLuscious leaves... and a frosty picture of my favourite chimes! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteJen girl . Autumn and it's art work is gone so quickly it frustrates me to bits .. I just noticed during that time that our kiwi vines turned such a gorgeous shade of gold .. yet i wasn't quick enough to catch them .. now we have snow .. not much , but it does tidy the garden up I have to say ! LOL

Great shots girl !
That is why digital photography is so great. There are no leaves, but you have this beautiful image of ginko yellow leaves!
ReplyDeleteI have watched a video of the Ginko leaves falling, they fall fast don't they?
ReplyDeleteWinter has it's own still beauty. There is something fantastic about the bare bones of a tree. Still, the memory of the lush foliage keeps my heart tugging towards spring!
ReplyDeleteWell I am dreamin about California too..Your Ginko leaves were beautiful..they certainly are a golden tree in the fall. We have a few over here..not many:)
ReplyDeleteOkay you know me... it is "all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray". Sorry I am a 60's music freak.
ReplyDeleteThat being said I love the look of the ginko leaves. What a cool tree that is.
I went for a walk on a winters day...
ReplyDeleteKeep warm.
I just love Ginkos.... they are so gorgeous this time of year. Then again in the spring.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen. Just paid you my first visit - as a new blogger and a very, very amateur photographer (read: BEGINNER!,) I'm enormously impressed with the undeniable talent you have (and, dare I admit, a teensy bit envious).
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are superb (breath-taking!) and it's wonderful that you're able to follow your passion and, at the same time, share your creativity with the rest of us...out there...somewhere in Blog Land!
