The leaves are starting to turn here in Maine. We saw a rainbow on the 10th of September (a very rare occurance), and shortly after we had one heck of a thunder, wind and hail storm! Made me sit up and pay attention...
September 30, 2006
The days are getting shorter too..... Not my favorite experience! It is dark here around 7 pm. Night temperatures are quite cold for this time of year. We already have had nights dipping down into the mid to high 30's. Day temps are 'decent' but chilly as well. I DREAD what follows! But I shouldn't complain. Parts of Colorado have already seen 7-plus inches of snowfall these past few weeks.
I haven't been 'out and about' with my camera in the past week or so simply because the leaves haven't sufficiently turned. They are starting to develop some rich coloring, so here are a few I took today on my property......
This is my driveway..... Some fun during the snow and ice season. Have to keep it plowed and sanded for safety reasons!
This is part of my "Leaching Field"... In small towns everyone has their own septic system, which must be maintained and pumped. The ground must be able to 'breathe' to maintain a healthy system and keeping the grass trimmed is part of it.
Here are some colorful leaves. I do believe these leaves belong to the maple tree.
Great color here!
