In my view...


Every time I come or go from our driveway, whether in a vehicle or on foot, I notice how pretty our roadside trees are looking.  Our camera still isn't working properly so I just took these photos by aiming my Kindle toward the treetops!  If you click on the picture you will notice a variety of colors, from yellow to orange to red to burgundy and even pink and green.

Sometimes when I walk to the mailbox, I will spy a perfect leaf or two, or one that is so unusual (like this "plaid" leaf I found last year!)

that I just have to bring them inside and scan them.  Well, I bring them inside.  Sadly, I don't always remember to scan them.  I often will set them on the hutch or somewhere and forget about them until they have curled up and are un-scannable.  Here are two that I did remember!
A red maple leaf
A yellow oak leaf
And here is one more view of the colorful treetops:

Hope you have enjoyed this October view from our driveway!  We certainly have been!

  2. Lots of color variety in your driveway sampler. Have you heard of the folks selling three autumn leaves for $20? =D

  3. Hi ladies!

    Tori -- yes, scanning them works perfectly. If you want a different sort of background than the white which your scanner will show, you could always put a sheet of scrapbook paper or piece of fabric, right side down on top of the leaf. I've not tried that, but it should work.

    Vee -- yes, there is a variety of color in that little space, isn't there? Seems to me I DID hear something about leaves being sold for a crazy price. Are they preserving them in some way?
