Autumn can make me moody and melancholy. The dark, the damp, the dreary.
But this week such gloom and glum has been banished by our record-breaking warm and sunny weather – 74 degrees today! November! Not an occasion to squander.
Yesterday’s first stop was magic, no doubt. Lured by a liquid light swishing through multi-colored leaves in a park I’ve driven past hundreds of times, I was enchanted to discover sweet trees festooned with golden hearts!
And with such a sweet name – ‘Forest Pansy’, of the Redbud family. (Cersis canadensis)
Nature’s garlands, buntings and banners.
I left exhilarated, elated and extra-appreciative of living in such a gorgeous city.
AND so happy to share it with you, who are so lovely with your kind comments and visits. I’m really delighted to have you along on these adventures but I must admit to much more to come – can you stand it? Do let me know if you tire of autumn – I have lots of pretty flower photos to get us through winter but, gosh, this. is. happening. right. now!
Gorgeous pics of Autumn ~ and I love the name of that lovely tree with the heart shaped leaves~ forrest pansy~ how very sweet!

"frantic and frenetic frenzy of photographing fall foliage"…lol…say THAT fast 5 times!
I've been giddy this past week too, it's been spectacular! Oh if every day of Fall could be like this!
Love your heart shaped leaves! Beautiful!
Beautiful, i've been doing the exact same thing. The weather has been stunning here in Brighton too. Love your photos, they always make me smile.
Beautiful, just lovely. I've been doing the exact same thing, everywhere I look there are the most beautiful autumnal trees.

GORGEOUS pics G! You've done it again!:)
Hi G
I knew with the first photo it was a redbud and how I've lusted after one for my backyard. But, one zone too cold to have little hearts dancing in the breeze.
Glad you went to the park and could share these images – just wonderful!
Looking forward to more autumn and your news.
Judith
Oh, you are so lucky! All we have experienced thus far this week is cold, gloom, and rain. Hoping it will end for the weekend. These photographs are just wonderful! I especially love the first one.
Bonjour Georgianna, Those photographs are so amazing, I just love the colours. I don't think I will ever get tired of Autumn if it looks like this. Sorry I'm only visiting so infrequently nowadays, life is just too busy at present… I'm looking forward to your exciting news, will have to come back on Saturday then ;-) Love from London x
Heart-shaped leaves lit by golden light = perfect.

My fall color is all gone, I will enjoy yours. Stunning pictures. Have a great weekend and take care, Jen.
Simply amazing photos!!!
I took some pictures of a tree just like that today!!! And, picked up a couple of leaves to bring home. Love the hearts!!!
I never tire of whatever you wish to display here — beyond gorgeous as usual!
Yes I do that too, sadly, but I'm glad you did capture these shots. Pretty heart shaped leaves and gorgeous colours. :)
what a great perception to beauty around you!!!
I will never tire of autumn and your photos. Living in Houston and London where there is no color at fall, I crave such beauty. Thank you for the view into your world!

G you have captured such beauty, and as only through your exquisite vision can be expressed so lovely and breathtaking. Autumn and all it's colors are a wonder here!
