Two Favourite Trees

 Around our neighbourhood I have two favourite trees, both Sugar Maples that turn a uniform orange.  One is much bigger and older than the other, but both are beautiful.  I go past them every time I go downtown.  Sorry about so many photos, I just can't help myself!

I have found in the past that photos which show the leaves and some of the dark-coloured trunk or branches are particularly effective for me.  All these are like that.

And just to provide the context, this is the tree, just a teenager in Sugar Maple terms.

The other tree is a huge old maple, with branches low enough that I can get close to lower leaves.  I think this is my favourite of all the big old trees in Meaford.  This is a grandfather among Sugar Maples!

And this is the base of this huge old tree, enormous by anyone's standards.  I hope you enjoyed these.  The temperature has turned colder here and that white stuff is in the forecast.  Send us good vibes please!

  1. I also go a little crazy with autumn photos. It’s such a short season.

  6. Good vibes are on their way. Sugar maples are indeed beautiful trees. We're fortunate to have one by our driveway and another in the backyard.

  7. When you say, 'sorry about so many photos' I fully understand why you are saying that. You and I are alike when we see and appreciate so much all the beauty nature presents us with day after day. How can we not take too many photos. How can we not try our best to capture that beauty and share it with others. How can we not.....take too many photos. Keep up the good work Furry:))
