Sunday Stills


The foliage of fall in all its colorful beauty- the subject of todays Sunday Stills Challenge. There is still a lot of green here, and rather late in the year for us at that!
The maple trees gave me some colour this year- last year they froze while they were still green and the leaves dropped without changing colour.
Red, like our flag!


I love the red berries on all the different bushes, they add a beautiful bright splash and make me smile.

Mostly green is gorgeous too, specially with you on a horse enveloped by it!

Yes, it's been a pretty mild fall for us too! We've yet to have a good hard frost...still got those bot flies bothering the horses!

Love the wonderful assortment of colors for your post today!

Merri - lol

I love maple leaves, as long as it isnt red maple! When I first was married to Mr. Foresterman, he knew my horses were part of the package. And that meant that there was no room in our lives for poisonous red maple, black cherry, or black walnut trees on the property, along with all the other poisonous plants I mentioned that had to be cut, sprayed or pulled out before I would move them.

He thoughtfully paused, then made the comment - "I think the only reason why horses arent extinct yet has to be because of horsewomen"

lol...

Love the veining in the maples- nice capture!
