Fall just keeps lingering on this year. Usually by November all the leaves are gone, the wind is bitter, and the skies are grey. With the snowstorm we got just before Halloween, I thought for sure we were in for a long, dingy winter. But no, the days have been warm, in the 50s and 60s, with sunshine and lots of beautiful colors still in the woods. The peculiar weather has coaxed fantastic color out of trees that often slide straight into muddy browns, like the oaks and the Norway maples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Barberry and fothergilla, on the other hand, never turn muddy brown! These two are always spectacular, but usually they are brown sticks at this time of year. If the weather weren’t so delightful, it would be a little creepy. I was walking through the Village Burying Ground (aka “the cemetery”) in the middle of town and saw these beauties glowing at me beside the path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I started out intending to make one entry for the Woodland series, but got carried away playing with the little barberry leaves. Looks like a mini-series now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
