Fall Color Close to Home

When I woke up this morning, I looked out the bedroom window and saw this Japanese maple tree that is behind our garage, in perfect fall color!  The tree is just over the property line in the neighbor's yard.  I hadn't noticed that the tree was changing, for some reason.  So to see it like this was stunning.

Then, as is our custom, we got coffee and two donuts and drove to the beach for breakfast.  I know, it's only Monday, but we are headed up to Rochester tomorrow morning, so we had to do donuts on a Monday.  We drove along our regular route and were stunned to see these two beautiful Japanese Maple trees!  Wow! Yellow and orange and red.  So beautiful.  And what small delicate trees.  Quite the day for fall color!
