The beautiful colors....

For weeks now, I drove down our street a bit slower than usual, gazing at the beautiful colors the trees had turned. Never have I EVER seen such colors on a tree, well at least in real life. Texas does not provide such beauty like this. I had been meaning to take pictures of them because it just seemed so surreal. Well. last night we had a huge wind storm and I woke up to a neighborhood full of yellow and red leaves all over the streets, yard, etc. Then I looked at the trees. They were gone! All the beauty stripped in one night. I couldn't believe it. So I got my camera out and took a couple of pictures of what was left. That will teach me to stop procrastinating!!!


our back yard...there's no grass in sight!

This is one of the few trees that still had color on it. Believe it or not, every tree was this color and packed with twice as many leaves!

and here's our poor little tree out front...
