Fall in the Ozarks, 2013

The leaves turned the first of this week and the trees are beautiful.  Unfortunately we have had the rain and wind for the last two days and a lot of the leaves have already fallen.  The sun came out this afternoon so I got the camera and went out to get some photos to share.

The view out my back yard.

There were no leaves in my yard on Monday.  Now it is a see of yellow leaves from my neighbor's tree.

We get mostly yellow and russet but some understory trees are red.

View across one of the hills.

And another.

And still another.

We do have some maples that turn red but they are not native to here and are at business's and in people's yards.

More Fall Color in the Ozarks

All of these pictures were taken in and around my neighborhood in Bella Vista, AR. The color this year is outstanding and is at a peak this week.

One of the first signs of Fall showed up in my fountain last week. On good years we have the full range of colors here; red, orange, russet, and yellow. This promises to be a very good year for color.
