Autumn Decorations

September 25, 2025

Mother Nature has begun working on the season. Just the start. Greens turning to many warmer shades, pumpkin orange, lemon yellow, scarlet and crimson red, with a little bit of a cooler shade – purple scattered here and there. This, a prime example of her work. Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) draped over thick branches deep in the woods. Just the beginning of decorations to celebrate autumn.
