Autumn has come to central Alabama. The colors are amazing this year, although I seem to feel that every fall has the brightest display of color I've ever experienced.
While the maples, hickories, and sweet gum trees are the stars of the show, I've been noticing some of the supporting, backdrop colors in my backyard. The branches of the cedar tree are bending under the weight of millions of metallic blue balls. The leaves of the dogwood tree have been steadily darkening from lime green to burgundy, contrasting with their bright red seeds. The nandina bushes are already beginning to look like Christmas, sporting giant clusters of red berries amid their glossy green leaves. There is just nothing quite like the visual feast of autumn in Alabama!
