The wind is blowing, and most of the leaves have fallen off the maple tree. The few remaining leaves are clustered at the ends of the branches, a rare sight. Soon, they too will be gone.
Oak trees and other hardwoods make up the woods of many ravines that border south western Lake Michigan. These ravines were carved out during the end of the last Ice Age. They include paper birches, white cedar buffaloberry and spreading juniper — plants that are commonly found in Wisconsin or Canada, but not this far south.
These beautiful maple leaves in Bright's Park Street were just on the turn as I was visiting, offering a beautiful and more subtle palette to the brilliant reds, golds and oranges found elsewhere in the township
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.
Japanese Maple Tree has not only lovely deep red leaves, but I love the bright red pods we like to call 'windmills' that spiral down to earth so prettily.
We were recently camping at Snows Lake RV Park near Carson City, Michigan, and every morning my wife and I took a walk down the graveled road in front of the park, stretching our legs and staying young. These beauties (and many more) graced our hike. Thank you Jesus!
In May, I had a short holiday in the Alpine Region of Victoria, staying in the picturesque little town of Wandiligong. One of the many pleasures I received from staying there was dinner on two nights at the Wandi Pub where fresh and delicious food that would not look or taste out of place in a Melbourne haute cuisine restaurant was served without fuss by the lovely staff of the venue. The Wandi Pub is just down the road from here, around the bend and on the crest of the knoll.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
One of the three Maple trees in my front yard has buds that differ from the other two and not just in color although the leaves are similar. I assume they are simply different species of Maple although I think both are Red Maple Hybrids.
"Red Autumn Maple in Vermont" by Patti Deters. A rustic barn stands in the middle of an open field, surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage in shades of red, orange, and gold. A single, striking red tree adds interest to the scene, set against the backdrop of rolling hills near Manchester, Vermont, USA. The old wooden building stands as a testament to years gone by, but is surrounded by a landscape bursting with the colorful hues of autumn. This juxtaposition highlights the beauty of nature's cycles—where the decay of the shed is embraced by lively, changing seasons. It’s like a scene from a story, where time stands still and marches on, all at once.

I was driving by some old tall maple trees with the twilight sun hitting them. I pulled over the car and took many fall pictures of leaves and trees.
