I learned about Flower Friday from Lorilin@Bugbugbooks last month and have been having a lot of fun sharing some flower pics every Friday.
I’m going to totally cheat today and share a picture of one of our maple trees. It’s not a flower, but maples have to be my favorite trees in the fall and they actually remind me of flowers as they first begin to turn.

Reading is an extension of who I am.
Maples are lush, subtle growers that produce excellent shady and rust-color leaves. But, they have to be the sugar maple (Acer saccharum)!! I planted a couple of silver maples once and I found the colors weren’t nearly as rich and varied as the sugar maples I had.
Btw, I think a tree’s leaf color qualifies as a flower.

I feel the same, David! They are the best trees in fall. I didn’t know that about silver maples! I’ve seen red silver maples, but yeah, they aren’t as pretty. Thanks for sharing that! 💜😄

Yes! The sun really helps broadcast the colors. My only wish is for the colors to last longer! ❤

I love maple trees, too. 🙂 Especially in the fall, and especially sugar maples. They’re just so gorgeous. I love the photo you posted of the leaves just starting to turn. So pretty. 🙂 Ours have completely changed and lost most of their leaves by now. There was one day a week or two ago that I swear the yard was absolutely COVERED in fallen yellow leaves by the time I came home from work. You couldn’t see any grass and it pretty much all happened in just a few hours. I think we’re in for a rough winter. Yikes!

I just love that when the leaves all fall to the ground. So beautiful! I think you may be right about the winter! Guess we’ll see. I’d be so happy to just have a white Christmas!! ❤ Thanks for commenting. 🙂
