Today’s photo is from Sheldon Martin (Our very own Tractor1!!) in the northern Catskill mountains of upstate New York. It’s a birch tree that stands in front of his garden shed. Beautiful fall color and a gorgeous blue fall sky! Thanks, Sheldon, for sharing this sight with us.

Keep sending in photos of your gardens, folks!

    What a beautiful sight!

    It's dark and gloomy here in southern Indiana and most of the leaves are gone.

    Thanks for sharing.
