An old Sugar Maple - Acer saccharinum (yellow leaves) and a young Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum (green leaves). They are two of three trees in our front yard in Carmel, New York.
Fall colors can be seen in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. These are young Red Maple trees seen along the side of a popular park roadway.
Bright, a town in north-east Victoria, is situated in the Ovens Valley and is part of the Alpine Region of Victoria. 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Bright was one of the towns in the Ovens Valley where gold was discovered. Gold was found near the junction of Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850s. Established in 1862 and named Bright, most likely after John Bright (1811 - 1889) an English publicist, reformer and parliamentarian the township thrived. With the Gold Rush in full swing, Bright soon had Catholic, Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches, schools, three hotels, three quartz mills and two bank branches. As the yield of gold declined in the 1870s, so too did Bright’s population, yet by the 1880s, it became an alpine tourism town. The Bright Alpine club was formed in 1887 and a community library was started there in 1889. In the following year Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta, bringing with it much needed tourists from Melbourne. In 1910 a grand chalet was opened at Mount Buffalo and Bright ran a hire car service for visitors, who often stayed there overnight at a hotel or guesthouse. In 1919 a secondary school was opened in Bright. It also had a tourist progress association and local angling, bowling, racing, tennis and golf clubs amongst its many attractions. By the mid 1920s the people of Bright began planting exotic trees partly for landscape improvement and partly to lay the summer dust. The street tree plantings produced extraordinary autumn colours. By 1933, Bright was described as the “Tourism Capital of the Ovens Valley”. Bright’s train line continued until 1983 when it was finally discontinued and replaced with coaches. By that time, it was a well established tourism town with people flocking there all throughout the year for different reasons. Bright is a base for exploring the peaks of Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort. Bright is a starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a hiking and cycling path. Bright Museum, in the town’s former train station, documents rail and gold rush history. The region is also known for wineries and of course its amazing display of autumnal foliage.

This old sugar shack fills with the most amazing sweet aroma during the spring maple syrup boil. I couldn't resist a photo with a fresh blanket of snow on the first day of spring :)
The Sunset Maple, shown at the beginning of its magnificent performance of color, is now bare. All the vibrant leaves have fallen in preparation for a long winter's sleep.

It was nearing the end of summer when I was shopping and spotted a cheap hummingbird feeder in the bargain bin. I had been wanting to get one, so it was the perfect excuse. We put it up and it didn't take long for them to find it. These photos aren't great, but they do show some of our first hummers.
Drove by with the car and spotted these back lit Maple seeds, got my camera and went back! The bright spots is the sun peeking through the trees, but not enough to ruin the colours!

This old maple tree stands tall in Macauley Conservation Area, its branches catching the sunlight! It was a freezing walk yesterday, but the sun was bright and the sky a perfect blue.
More buds bursting forth on one of our maple trees as the rains were winding down. Taken while still raining a little and the sun just starting to come out. And yes, these will make a mess and fill the rain gutters shortly. :) Some not in sharp focus but saving for now since not much else to photo. More storms and very rain starting tonight for a couple of days. :( A very small tornado hit about 10 miles from us causing only minor damage 1 1/2 hours before these photos, one downside to the beauty of Spring.
In our front yard has a lot of snow piled around it. We have had more snow in Carmel, NY this year then we've had it many years.
