CALLERY PEAR TREE
" The Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana) is a species of pear native to China. It is a deciduous tree growing to 15 to 20 m (49 to 66 ft) tall, with a conic to rounded crown. The leaves are oval, 4 to 7 cm (1.6 to 2.8 in) long, glossy dark green above, slightly paler below. The flowers are produced in early spring before the leaves expand fully, and are white, with five petals, and about 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.2 in) in diameter. They have a sickly-sweet smell.
The fruit is less than one cm in diameter, hard, almost woody until softened by frost, after which it is readily taken by birds, which disperse the seeds in their droppings. In summer, the foliage is dark green and very smooth, and in autumn the leaves commonly turn brilliant colors, anything from yellow and orange to more common red, pink, purple, and bronze. Sometimes, several of these colors may be present on an individual leaf. However, the color often occurs very late in fall, and the leaves may be killed by a hard frost before full color can develop.
This tree is remarkably resistant to sicknesses or blight, and is killed more often by storms and high winds than by sickness." wikipedia.org

Just couldn't resist these gorgeous colourful roses for fall ... a little added treat while grocery shopping ... and then when I get home with all the groceries, hubby says "Oh look at the beautiful roses I bought you!" LOL
Photographed October 7, 2016 at the Antique Automobile Club of America Regional Fall Meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
I took this photo one year ago today, am feeling the disappointment that I could not attend Hershey this year.

Spiced Molasses cookies with RI. I was trying for the look of fall leaves with a heavy frost. This week's ice storm is inspiring me!

So, I took these pictures this morning.

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba; in Chinese and Japanese 銀杏, pinyin romanization: yín xìng, Hepburn romanization: ichō or ginnan), also spelled gingko and known as the Maidenhair Tree, is a unique species of tree with no close living relatives. The tree is widely cultivated and introduced, since an early period in human history, and has various uses as a food and traditional medicine.
Ginkgoes are large trees, normally reaching a height of 20–35 m (66–115 feet), with some specimens in China being over 50 m (164 feet). The tree has an angular crown and long, somewhat erratic branches, and is usually deep rooted and resistant to wind and snow damage. Young trees are often tall and slender, and sparsely branched; the crown becomes broader as the tree ages. During autumn, the leaves turn a bright yellow, then fall, sometimes within a short space of time (1–15 days). A combination of resistance to disease, insect-resistant wood and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts makes ginkgos long-lived, with some specimens claimed to be more than 2,500 years old.
Ginkgo is a relatively shade-intolerant species that (at least in cultivation) grows best in environments that are well-watered and well-drained. The species shows a preference for disturbed sites; in the "semi-wild" stands at Tian Mu Shan, many specimens are found along stream banks, rocky slopes, and cliff edges. Accordingly, Ginkgo retains a prodigious capacity for vegetative growth. It is capable of sprouting from embedded buds near the base of the trunk (lignotubers, or basal chi chi) in response to disturbances, such as soil erosion. Old individuals are also capable of producing aerial roots (chi chi) on the undersides of large branches in response to disturbances such as crown damage; these roots can lead to successful clonal reproduction upon contacting the soil. These strategies are evidently important in the persistence of Ginkgo; in a survey of the "semi-wild" stands remaining in Tian Mu Shan, 40% of the Ginkgo specimens surveyed were multi-stemmed, and few saplings were present.
Went on a hike with Dave (buffdawgus) at the Spenceville Wildlife Area. It was a gorgeous springlike day. Bright, sunny, and the temperature was in the mid-60s. Next week it's suppose to snow. Inconsistent weather we are having this winter. But, I guess that's better than no weather at all.

How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul,
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one, I will never let you fall...
It's hard to tell, but I'm throwing leaves in the air. :) I absolutely love the feeling of cold, wet earth and leaves beneath my bare feet. It's Fall! :)
This past Friday morning, on my way to MOBOT to try some bokeh panos with my Olympus, I was running a little bit early for the gardens opening. I decided on the way to stop by Forest Park and try to find something to shoot there for a bit. I ended up by the Jewel Box, the parks department really has this area landscaped nicely for the fall. I was graced with good skies and great color for this shot. Every time I take my Olympus out for shooting, it really amazing the quality it can produce when I want it to. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

I was supposed to be painting a house today. I went. I started. But I kept looking out at our 1st snow of the year. I had to grab the camera and head to the woods!!! It was a very wet snow and by the time I got there was turning to a rain snow mix and melting off the trees. I had to shoot quick!!! I'm not ready for winter yet but this was a beautiful coating on top of the fall colors.
