Georgia Fall Colors 2012

BY SKEETER
Finally, some Fall Colors near my Georgia Gardens!
We strolled the Augusta Canal where the Savannah River is in sight. As you can see, we continue to be in drought conditions. Rocks which are normally below the water, are easily seen below the dam.
As normal for us, we see more orange and bronze type colors of the leaves. After 12 years of living here, I recall only 2 years of red colors. Sigh... 
I long for the bright reds but rarely do we become lucky enough to see them in our neck of the woods. Of course we see reds planted in landscaped areas but not where nature tends its own.
Not much more then a few touches of yellow by the Water Fall which leads into the Canal.
Spanish Moss dangles within the colors.
I would enjoy this view more if the two tree trunks were not in view. But to be expected as tall Georgia Pines are a big part of GEORGIA FALL COLORS, In the Garden...

  1. The tree trunks are lovely! They remind us of the wonderful shade for your Georgia gardens. The river is beautiful too. Wow on the rocks and the low level. I hope this winter brings some much needed water. I'll be at the polls today. Good luck to everyone and please vote!

  5. What a beautiful array of colors. Love the water pics. Hopefully it will get what it needs this winter. It did shower early this morning but the rest of the day was beautiful. It gets a tad cool at night.
    I did vote.

  7. I am amazed at how low the river is. Wow. If you want reds in your fall landscape, there are some great trees and shrubs you could plant. There is one Crepe Myrtle in front of our neighborhood that is the most glorious red. I love fall colors.

  8. What a beautiful place for a walk Skeeter! Water scenes with fall colors are always some of the best to see. The Spanish moss is very cool mixed in with all the color.

  9. The Spanish moss makes that photo look almost surreal!

  10. Beautiful fall colors, Skeeter! I enjoy seeing the reds, too, but the natural landscapes you've shown are my favorite anyway, no matter the color. One thing you have that we certainly don't have up north, though, is the Spanish moss--so cool-looking!
