On Monday,
my daughter and I were
driving home from school
and we passed the same church
that we pass every single day.
But on Monday,
the back side of the church
appeared to be
on fire!
Engulfed in flames.
The glorious color....
oh my heavens.
 |
| See the flames? |
I just had to pull over
to take some shots to share
with my blogging friends.
(Pan now to daughter's face as she rolls her eyes.)
:D

| Beautiful, right? |
The winds were whipping through here
this evening
and a cold front has blown in.
It went from the mid-70's
today to the mid-30's
this evening .... it is chill-eeee.
I'm just afraid to wake up tomorrow
to see the leaves on the ground
and off the trees.
:(
You know what THAT means....
winter is not far behind. Shhh.
Maybe if we don't say it out loud
it won't happen?

stunning. we don't get those red leaves here in Cali~
Oh My...just stunning!
I understand why you'd HAVE to get some photos of Nature's Flames!
We, too, had a beautiful day yesterday -- and I'm sure your chill is going to hit us this morning!
Gorgeous!!! The beauty of nature always amazes me. Stay warm, Alison.
Wow, that is so pretty. Wish I was there I would take some pictures, too. Getting cold here next week too after being 80 the last two days.
That is just AMAZING! Thanks for capturing it on film and sharing, what a beautiful sight!
Simply gorgeous. There's a large office complex close to me that has that same ivy that turns brilliant red in the Fall. I love it.
Amazing. I am so glad you stopped and shared with us. The cold weather is coming here later today. 80's yesterday and 40's tomorrow. Brrrrr!!!
:)

Really incredible. We have a home here that looks just like that and I drive by each day to check out the color. So, I know what you mean!
So very pretty..thanks for sharing!
OH that's gorgeous, Alison! And that cold weather whipped through here yesterday...even snowed a little!
This is incredible! Do you know WHAT the vine is??? Thank you so much for sharing this. XO, Pinky I totally get the rolling of the eyes. In my case it is my husband when I photograph him cooking for my blog:):)
It is funny as some of the trees I see I think look like aflame.
Fall is flaming...
incredible beauty!
and so fleeting, yes?
would love to get together in november so pick a place and throw me some dates, mama.

Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow that is really pretty and it really does look like flames licking up the wall. That's quite a temperature drop! It was in the mid 60's here today and yesterday - just beautiful. :)
That is beautiful. Nature at her best. Thanks for sharing.
Alison,
We had a Boston ivy growing on the front of our home years ago that would turn that flame color during the fall. We removed it when we put up stone, but I'm thinking I need to find a new spot for one, it would be one great sign of fall for this So Cal resident.

Alison that's so stunning!! Yes I'm afraid after the leaves go snow comes.
Not too soon I hope.
Alison that is such a gorgeous image of the church and the "flames"!!
Your daughter will remember this in times to come!
