Drove from Louisville to Lake Charles last weekend. Colors were popping. No pics as I'm a safe driver but the views were great.

Catchacold!!! I was hoping you would post. Larches have always intrigued me. Need to see if there’s one I could grow around here.

And on the 20th day of October, God looked at the tree that randomly grew in my yard from one of those helicopter seed thingies like 9 years ago, blew a chef’s kiss, and was like, “word.”

I always like when the top half of the tree is one color and the bottom half is like “nah this year we just gonna stay green from the knees down”

There is a very nice maple in the cemetery where my dog likes to walk right now.

I've decided that cottonwoods are the poor man's aspen tree. Their leaves have a similar reflective quality and are quite nice to look at when backlit by low morning sun. I saw some very nice cottonwoods in creek bottoms when driving in the Flint Hills over the weekend.

I love the sound of wind through cottonwoods. Memories of childhood. If they weren't brittle AF and spread cotton everywhere, would love to have a bunch around.

Their cotton is very gross. Would not want to live up close to a cottonwood.

we had some cottonwoods on our farm growing up, which ended up being the designated spot to haul cows/pigs that unexpectedly died. hook their back leg up with a log chain, and drag their cold dead ass out to the cottonwoods with the tractor, rip in peace cow/pig.

We're still green down here in the corner of Louisiana. Jealous of this color in Kentucky.

I thrive in days like today.

I still prefer summer, but a dreary autumn day is right up there for me.

Our ash tree is doing its annual leaf dump this week. The golden leaves make a nice contrast with the green lawn.

This tulip tree is a truly weird case. Planted it like 6 years ago, it was about 12 feet tall, then mysteriously died this past spring. I cut it off at ground level in May of this year, and then it exploded up out of the ground and had a lil over 5 feet of growth in 5 months. As the great Goldbloom said, “nature….uhhh…finds a way”
