The Colors of a Northeastern Fall Garden
The colors of fall are beautiful this year and as Hurricane Sandy stormed up the northeastern coastline I am glad I felt a need to capture the beauty of the foliage before the powerful winds arrived here on Long Island. I saved the photos on my computer and now that the power is restored I can share them. The last photo was just taken after the storm. To much surprise a lot of the fall color is still around. To say the least...it has been a long week. Fortunately many of the large aging trees on the property have been removed over the years and the evergreens and flowering shrubs are a bit more flexible. The Crape Myrtle and Magnolia have lost all their leaves so I am glad to have gotten the photos. The Coral Bark Maple still has its golden yellow foliage which it wasnt about to give up just yet and the Knock Out Roses are determined to still produce blooms. I hope you enjoy the photos of the changing fall garden.

And after the storm with gusts of 90 mph winds...the resilient Knock Out Roses are blooming profusely...not about to quit but to keep the colors coming.
We are very thankful that we made it through the storm alright with just some power outages and clean up. My heart goes out to all of those whos lives have been affected by Hurricane Sandy and hope for a safe and speedy recovery.
Thank you for visiting.
