Fall Color on the Farm

Early this morning I was chatting was a pal and she mentioned she would love to see our tree farm.  Then a short while later, a friend who lives in southern Florida emailed me, bemoaning the lack of seasonal color in her area.  So I got the bright idea to capture “fall on the farm” here.  What does fall look like on a timber farm? Well since most of the trees we grow are pine – they don’t change color! But the understory trees are another story altogether….

View looking east from the driveway – the bits of white are the supports for the fruit trees. The orchard is to the left.

Sumac explodes with color

 

Not much is blooming in the flower garden, but the background trees add color!
