Another picture of Autumn

Yes, I know everybody has beauty in their yards this time of year, but this tree is just amazing! It gets more color every day. It's all one tree, from the pale yellows at the bottom to the bright red at the top. I find it just stunning! And it'll still have the red berries after the last leaf falls.
I do think the summer people miss the best part of the year up here in the mountains. The dogwood, wild cherry, plums, apples, as well as the little wild flowers, have all bloomed and gone before they get here and look at the beauty they are missing now that they've all left again. It's our reward for living though the noise and litter of the hot months of summer people.
