Golden Ginkos

I don't know which is more dramatic ... the golden carpet of November or the purple confetti of June.

A perfect day!; November 29, 2011 at 12:17 AM

Chrissy Brand said...: Both are nature at its best but the purple jumps out at me more as it's so unusual. A great comparison post though!

Trish said...: Ditto Anon. Ginko carpets make me homesick. Especially when I recognize the street and homes. You were aiming between the old Latimore house and Chrostowski house on Santa Teresa standing near the corner of Los Laureles aiming at Camino del Sol. I spent many a Fall day running, riding, playing thru those yellow carpets.; November 29, 2011 at 8:54 AM

Dixie Jane said...: My mother used to say, "Money doesn't grow on trees." It looks like ir here. But this is something money can't buy....simple gold beauty.; November 29, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Patricia said...: So pretty. I just love it.; November 29, 2011 at 11:08 AM
Laurie Allee said...: Thank you so much, everyone!

I adore these trees. (and kudos to Trish for IDing the location!)

I'm working in a fall colors series. Stay tuned!; November 29, 2011 at 1:13 PM
Trish said...: Laurie--sorry, I grew up there, habit of IDing stuff---memories abound. If you turned around from that spot, looked up the street, there is one tree that is much smaller and less developed than the others (or, at last count it was)due to a drunk taking it out probably 15 years ago now. I used to stare at the old one from my window while growing up here.

While it is no longer the same place I grew up--I am just glad that Little Bit gets to grow up in that same town. Do me a favor---take a walk thru the leaves and shuzz thru them with her.; November 29, 2011 at 10:46 PM
