Flowers of the Day are Festive Autumn Leaves

—

Today seems like a great day to add my Autumn leaves to Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge!

What intrigues me about the colors are the pink tones, found in nature no less!

Pink Autumn Leaves

This little tree was already decked out for Autumn while the rest of the tree is still green!

Still waiting for Autumn in Northern California to “fall!” Very unseasonable warm weather…temperatures range from low 80s in the day to mid-40s at night.

And because the tiny tree looks so festive, I’m submitting this to Dawn’s Festival of Leaves  photo challenge!

    Very pretty- the pink is unexpected- we think of orange, red and yellow as fall colors but not pink. Our leaves are just turning but this weekend’s massive storms and wind took many of the leaves before they could reach peak color. Oh well, there is always next year!

      I was very surprised to see pink (not photo edited either!) We’ve had such a warm October that most of our leaves are still green and on the trees!

    We had mid to upper 80s here in Southern California the last few days. I’m ready for Autumn to “fall”. Those leaves had some beautiful colors.

      I heard! My family lives in San Diego, where fall can get a slow start! Hope it changes soon, Debbie!

        Me too. We were having some fall-like weather before this past Monday. I even noticed some colors in the young sycamore tree in the yard of the neighbor behind me.

    You should capture those leaves and keep them for your Christmas tree! Very colorful.

    I love autumn leaves. It is summer here so I will have to dig around and see if I have pictures from May this year.

      Happy summer to you, Robbie, although it still feels like summer here for a couple more weeks!
