| Many of the leaves have dropped from this tree but it's still got color |
The spruce help to show the yellow of the poplar leaves.

"It's a Beautiful Day in my Neighborhood"
This huge poplar tree is directly across the street from me. Since it's such a large tree and has brilliant yellow leaves I couldn't resist a photo. I wanted more light from the rising sun , but that was not to be.
Trees in the neighborhood are from 6 m (20 ft.) to 14 m (45 ft.) high with some spruce at 28 m (80 ft.) Some variety of poplars were planted and are up to 30 m(100 ft.) and stand out over the whole district. The tree dwarfs the house in front of it.

It sure is a beautiful day! I love that contrast of the yellow and the green. Thank you for sharing a piece of your neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those things that just catches the eye.
DeleteWhat a lovely, LARGE tree!!
ReplyDeleteThere are two or three of these in each neighborhood.
DeleteYes, Mr. Rogers, you have a lovely neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't believe that I went to a student Halloween party as Mr
Delete. Rogers. It was a hoot.
I think the red brick on the house in the first shot helps make that yellow pop as well.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I went for a drive Sunday and the leaves here are behind where they should be. With some cool temps this week and possible frost I think next week we'll start seeing some color. I'm going to be singing your title each time I look at the fall leaves. :)
I didn't see the red brick here. Thanks for picking it out.
DeleteOh Red it is indeed "a beautiful day in my neighborhood.". B
ReplyDeleteI wanted more sun on the tree but it didn't work out.
Deletekn This is indeed a beautiful day - I would love that tree in my yard - we have a red maple and a couple of pines, so I get the bright red and rusty pine needles making a carpet on my grass, which is just starting to do so. Lovely Red :)
ReplyDeleteUnless you've got a very big yard , you don't want this tree. It's a hazard in a small yard.
DeleteThat is definitely a huge tree! Pretty and gold as well. You do the same thing I do: convert to make sure that those of us not familiar with meters know the difference! I needed that. :-)
ReplyDeleteIn our case I think it's only polite when our neighbor hasn't changed. I don't use the English system at all.
DeleteNature's lovely swan song before going to sleep for the winter. Take care.
ReplyDeleteAnd that winter can be long.
Deleteoh, i loved this! love the color, love that PINE too!
ReplyDeleteWell the spruce was sitting right there so what do you do?
DeleteThose colors jump out, and it is easy to ID trees with the color they have changed
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about that but it's true.
DeleteBeautiful! That last photo is very neat, with the Pine framed by Gold from the tree in the background.
ReplyDeleteAs I said before, the spruce was there so what do you do...use it!
DeleteNot much sunshine here either, you have a beautiful tree in your neighborhood, better yet its leave fall in someone elses yard. It snowed again last night:(
ReplyDeleteThe leaves from this tree visit everybody's yard.
DeleteHey , be careful of the snow or your snow stick might miss some!
yup pictures are my memory!!
ReplyDeletePictures really do bring out memories. You seem to remember more than the picture.
DeleteAutumn always has such beautiful colours, I like the changing of the seasons and this tree looks wonderful with such a great shape.
ReplyDeleteWe aren't famous for fall colors but they are good.
DeleteThe third shot shows your arty side. It is a good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteScary!
Don't you just LOVE autumn!? Great shots Red!
ReplyDeleteGreetings to you from the Netherlands,
dzjiedzjee.blogspot.com
Thanks.
DeleteRegards to you in Holland.
Red I like the ever green infront as well. I so like fall but all leaves have left most trees now. We had snow and frost yesterday. Some little snow today and cold.
ReplyDeleteThe tree in the photo still has half it's leaves. the other trees are bare.
DeleteVery cool seeing the spruce tree in front of the yellow leaves.
ReplyDeleteI always think of Mr. Rodgers when someone talks about a good day in the neighborhood :)
Mr. Rogers was a classic.
DeletePictures looks so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is.... and the beautiful fall trees help make it so!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis is an amazing time of year!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like to go into the bush and just take a deep breath. I like the smell of the yellow leaves that have stopped working.
DeleteIt certainly was a beautiful day! Lovely images. Did you get your first frost yet? We did a few days ago, and the autumn splendour is over!
ReplyDeleteMost nights in Oct we get frost. We also get the odd frost in Sept.( four or five nights)
