Under the maple tree...

Shot from the deck. The big contrast is, nine years ago today - the maple tree was beautifully turning red - https://365project.org/marlboromaam/365/2011-10-20

[Taffy]

Wow -- what a difference in a decade!

[Mags]

@taffy Yep. A big difference. Thank you for the comment!

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Esther Rosenberg]

wow, huge contrast, it had beautiful color leaves. I have an oak tree and the leaves drive me nuts....

[KWind]

Great shot!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Quite the difference, but still quite lovely!

[Diana]

What a pity, hard to believe it is the same tree.

[Maggiemae]

the shape of the leaves is unmistakable!

[Dione Giorgio]

The leaves in the bird bath make beautiful shapes and colours. I did not understand your statement and that is maybe because I haven't been following you that long.

[Susan Wakely]

Good to see the contrast.

[Kate]

Typical Fall scene

[Mags]

@pdulis Thanks, Peter! LOL!

@dutchothotmailcom Big contrast! But that's South Carolina for ya. The weather changes all year long. LOL!

@kwind Thank you!

@aikiuser Thank you, Jenn!

@ludwigsdiana Yes. I was disappointed - the year I get to come back to 365.

@maggiemae Thanks, Maggiemae!

@sangwann It's okay, Dione. You were following me nine years ago and who can remember everyone from back then.

@wakelys Thanks, Susan!

@k9photo Thank you, Kate!

Leaf soup... nice color in the “soup” even if your maple is not giving you the rich reds.

[Mags]

@kvphoto Thanks, KV! I like how you see things. =)

[*lynn]

interesting shot with the leaves in the birdbath

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great fall shot and I like your angle.

[Mags]

@lynnz Thank you, Lynn!

@mittens Thank you very much, Marilyn!

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot

[Mags]

@bkbinthecity Thanks, BKB!

[sarah]

Wow big difference-my trees don’t seem to be very colorful this year either and it’s been so windy

[Margaret Brown]

A big difference!

[Jean]

colors here are somewhat muted this year. Big difference there!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I too noted that the leaves in the birdbath had such a distinct shape compared to those on the ground.

[Corinne]

It is starting to smell winter ...

[Mags]

@samae Maybe next year, we'll get those beautiful colors. =)

@craftymeg Sure is!

@jernst1779 Yes, but it's South Carolina. LOL! Anything can happen.

@lyndemc Thanks, Denise. They are all maple leaves with maybe a few oaks and sweet gums mixed in.

@cocobella 81 degrees today. I'm not smelling it yet. LOL!

[Frances Claydon]

its been so dry, I was hoping for nice colourful vine leaves but they are all dull and brown this year. Nice bowl of 'soup' though!

[Mags]

@francesc LOL! Yes. Soup - nasty bird bath water.

[bruni]

I should look inviting to the birds? not to the squirrels I think. oh well. I still like the colors and of course the shape of the leaves

[Michelle]

Amazing colours

[Santina]

yes, a big difference in color, this year also my maple did not have the beautiful colors like past years

[Mags]

@bruni Thank you, Bruni!

@bigmxx Thanks, Michelle!

@santina Been a touch year on everyone I think. Thank you for your comments, Santina!

[Lin]

Nice comp and pov.

[Mags]

@linnypinny Thanks, Lin!

[Leslie]

let the fall again

[Mags]

@lesip LOL! Thanks, Leslie!

[Leslie]

@marlboromaam we have one of those too and a birdbath underneath

[Mags]

@lesip That is too funny and strange!
