golden sky in suburbia


please click on this photo to see golden leaves in more detail.


do you think this has enough sky in it to qualify for a skywatch friday post? I took this photo only three or four days ago. I felt a tremendous sense of urgency to post this when I happened upon this very tree again, only to find out that every single leaf had already fallen off of it! this seems to be happening all over long island lately, trees loaded with abundant golden yellow leaves falling to the ground in what seems like an instant. I guess that is why they call this time of year around these parts, fall !

I do think leaves are falling faster this year. The trees are colorful, colorful....bare. They seem to be missing the turning brown part and just going to straight to bare.

Bettye, I'm glad to hear you say that because sometimes I wonder if it's just me not being good with time, like I think it's just a few days when it's actually a week. But I am sure I took this photo last weekend & yesterday, well, you know the story..lol!

This tree is so beautiful and harmonious. Great photograph, Lily.
Happy Sky Watch!
(This week I don't participate).
Nice catch for skywatch! Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize__ blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, and our own two eyes. All is a miracle!!! Happy skywatching! Hope too see you @ corner too...

The gold against that gorgeous blue is striking! I do miss autumn since we moved to Hawaii some months ago. Your photo makes me smile.

Absolutely enough sky to qualify! The wonderful blue is the perfect contrast for the magnificent gold. Yes, the leaves are here and then gone in an instant this year. But you captured them while they were here!

I would tell you right now that this one is one of the best skywatch for this week. The colors are very vibrant! Love it! Thanks for wishing me a happy ferry trip! It means a lot!

Mabuhay from the Philippines!

Stunning picture!

I was just thinking the same thing about the leaves. My neighbor's tree had these beautiful reddish-yellow leaves on them and 2 days later, there's nothing but branches.
Absoluteely stunning autumn colours.

Fantastic photo full of colour of the season, can almost feel the air getting crisp from here.

Book Hampton looks like a fun place, watching from a safe blogging distance might be safer for my little purse.

Thanks for sharing with us all.

wow, that's nuts. Crazy how quickly the leaves turn color.

I went thru Central Park the other day in a cab and was dying to jump out and snap photos. Fall lasts only a second!

Beautiful shot. The autumn combination of blue and yellow is one of my favorites!

I think our leaves fall a bit slower because our seasons seem to change less dramatically. This is a beautiful photo, Lily.

Wonderful picture with beautiful colours!

This is a fantastic photo, for it represents every part about fall that I love. It shows the contrasting colors between the golden leaves and the bright blue sky, and the image also conveys the brisk, slightly chilled air of a fall morning. Great shot.
