I've got some major raking of my own to do! We have a lot of Big Leaf Maples surrounding our place & the wind yesterday brought leaves down all over the place! Oh, well...makes good mulch! Your photos are great...your Japanese Maple is stunning. And I love how Kokopelli snuck into the last one! :)
Such pretty red. We mostly have only yellow around here. And you know...I am LOVIN' your Kokopelli! I have them all over my house. Do you know they are a sign of fertility? Before I got pregnant with my twinlings I was given quite a few as gifts.
Jan, you are definitely having superb fall at your house! We have leaves to rake also, but mostly they just turn brown and fall off the trees. I'm still holding my breath for an early freeze so our lost maple will turn red. That only happens about every five years.
Beautiful! For this beauty, raking is probably a "willing" sacrifice?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colors!
ReplyDeleteI love raking leaves (but then I don't have to several times a year!)
ReplyDeleteLovely colours. That maple is sooo beautiful. I would leave the leaves if I were you. They make good compost all by themselves.
ReplyDeleteLovely colour leaves Great photos!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, love the Kokopeli..:-))
ReplyDeleteHow pretty...the green against the red!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours in your garden!
ReplyDeleteI love all the colors but the brilliant red is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely yard. Raking leaves is good excercise and fun too. :):)
