Fall Photos of My Little World

It seems as though it's taken FOREVER for the foliage on the trees to begin to change into their incredibly vibrant colors! We've had a very dry fall here in Oklahoma, so some trees didn't turn their pretty colors at all...so sad! Last week I took some photos of the beautiful fall colors that I see around my little world every day, so I thought I'd share those with you. All of the photos were taken in my yard except for the first one of a tree at the office where I work....

I captured this photo looking up into the tree that is just outside of the office building that I work in. I love the way that the morning sun enhanced the amazing firey red-orange color of the leaves against the crisp blue Oklahoma sky. I'm glad that I snapped the photo when I did, because as of today all of the leaves are gone:

Here's a photo of my front flower bed...full of pumpkins, mums and pansies. Once again, loving the way that the morning sun highlights the vibrant colors:

Here are a couple of photos to highlight the beautiful yellow mums and pansies...see why yellow is my favorite color?!?!?

At the time I took this photo, it wasn't quite cold enough to get a photo of "frost on the pumpkins", but the next best thing is a photo of "dew on the pumpkins", right?

Some richly colored crimson mums highlighted by more yellow pansies, which are planted around my brick mailbox:

And, last but not least, just a cute/happy little corner of my back yard...complete with decorative birdhouses, holly, golden euanymous (? spelling ?), and more yellow mums and pansies:

Wishing you a very happy day...be sure to look around your little world and give thanks for lovely things that you see every day too!
