I went to the internet to find a quote for Autumn flame or flaming and it seems there is a cottage industry of images of bright red and orange foliage. So this week I add my leaves to the pile. Where I am flaming fall is not a metaphor, with fires burning and temperatures climbing everything seems to be aflame. I hope my weekly mantra of hot and dry changes soon.
Which images burns brightest for you?

Good ones. Our folage hasn’t started to turn here yet. May be starting in northern Oklahoma though. A few areas had a lite freeze last week. But, now it’s back up in the upper 80’s today. Gee!!

Our leaves don’t depend on frost to change, if they did they never would. Our trees just read the calendar 😉
It’s been in the 90’s here.
