Today’s photos are from Marilyn Regnier in Minnetonka Beach, Minnesota. She says, “The woods around our house here in Minnesota are full of sugar maples.  Fall is one of my favorite seasons when our woods begin to glow and add a beautiful backdrop to my gardens.” Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Marilyn!

    What a serene palette of glowing yellows and blues...very pretty.

    Wow! I'm sitting here at my computer - drinking coffee - wishing that instead of looking at those gorgeous pictures on my computer I could be looking at that fall beauty from my back window.

    I'm getting some of the same views from my study window. The golds here are the beech trees in the woods. The poplars have mostly lost their leaves and the maples and oaks were not much in the way of color providers this year because of the rain. They mostly went to brown and dropped their leaves.

    Very nice setting!

    Stunning, Marilyn! I love the way the yellow daisies of the cultivated garden soften and blurr the boundary to the wild garden. What are those daisies, by the way? Although the photo is really good, it's a bit hard to tell on the 'puter.

    Those sugar maples really do "glow". There is a huge one adjacent to one of the windows in my son's room. During the height of the color season every time I get to the top of the stairs and glance into that room I think, "Oh, darn, he's left the light on yet again!" And then realize that this is natural lighting. How nice.

    Love these pictures. The trees here where I am are glowing with red- some dark, dark red and gold. It takes the pain from seeing my tomato plants gone through nature's freeze.

    Your second photo touched me deeply. There is something almost spiritual by the sun beaming through the trees and the fallen leaves in focus within the purple flowers in the foreground. Beautiful! Worthy of publishing, in my humble opinion. Thank you for contributing to my day.
