I love the magnificent colors of fall up north. Do you have pictures you want to share?

Not sure what kind this is - from deep South Texas.

This was the "mama maple" in my back yard, October 2019. We were cleaning up after selling the house, so there's some "stuff" in the yard like that ladder.

Another shot of Mama Maple in the autumn, and contrast to a February snow.

BTW those are sugar maples. The Mama Maple is literally the "mother" of all the others in our yard, and the woods behind the fence. She's around 200 years old, 4 stories high, and if I had tapped her and boiled the sap to syrup she would've yielded around 2 gallons per year. To get an idea of her size - that little white thing in the circle around her is an antique enamel farm sink perched on a restored park bench. It came from behind our fence; our property used to be a farm in the 1700's and was subdivided into a suburban neighborhood around 1945. The squat little pillars are actually pieces of tree trunks from trees we had to have cut down. There was a big cherry-blossom tree, a couple of sumacs (true sumac, not poison sumac), two Kentucky Coffee Trees (no idea how they got there but whatever), and a smaller maple from a house down the street. Everything there - including those tree trunks - are totally dwarfed by Mama Maple. You could stand two people on one side of it, and someone on the other side looking, wouldn't see the people at all.

"Mama Maple" Had to look up if that was an actual species! :1rotfl: :1rotfl:

I'm not a fan of snow but that winter picture is stunning.

Time to pull out the leaf rake

Time to pull out the leaf rake

Supposedly the way to go now is to mow the leaves which ends up as mulch for the lawn over the winter. Has been working for us, and so much easier than raking!

Go to User Settings, then to Pictures and Albums. There you create and name an album to which you can upload pictures and link to them in the posts here. At least, this is what I did and my picture (just below your post) did come through.

I took these pictures earlier today (November 2) while golfing at the Ledges in South Hadley, MA. We are well past peak foliage in this neck of the woods, but there are still some decent colors. The mountain range behind the big guy, my 6'8" golfing buddy Scottie, is Mt. Tom in Holyoke, MA. Just to make everyone at the Villages a little happier, the temperature topped out at about 52 degrees. Can't wait to get to the Villages :icon_wink:

First of all you have to use the "reply" from the top of the page, not the bottom one (for me anyway). There's a paper clip icon that gives you the uploading option. I drag my pictures from my desktop into that and you can see at the bottom if picture has uploaded with a check mark on it. Then "Submit reply" with at least a 3 letter reply included. Hope that works for you.
