A tale of three trees... Part 1

My intention was to photograph as many trees as possible over the entire Autumn Fall, capturing them all once a week until they were completely bare. 

Yeah...

No...

So I focused on a few trees, ones that were easy and accessible. This is the tale of the crab apple tree, right outside our apartment.


September saw the first leaves go...


Just a few, and then more and more...


With so many leaves it was easy to forget what was actually happening...


Until we looked up and saw the top of the tree going red...


Lower leaves followed...


And then they started to fall...


I made sure to collect as many as possible and ended up sticking them to our bedroom wall...


Then the first snow came in mid November, telling the crap apple leaves to hurry up and go...


And go they did, and gone they were in December...



There is no longer any snow, but there are buds of new growth waiting for Spring. In the meantime, the old fruit is feeding a wonderful array of birds. Hopefully the blossoms come out in time for our departure.
