Last week I went out and drove around for awhile looking for some new fences to photograph (planning ahead for those days when I can't get out).
Right down the street from us is a house with a nice wooden fence. What caught my eye wasn't the fence so much as what was behind it....
Just look at those Golden Ginkgo leaves cascading over the fence. Aren't they delightful.
Ginkgo Trees fascinate me. To learn more about them click on this link.
I like the Cupola's on this fence.
Note these photos were taken on 11-6-2014 just one week ago. So this morning I walked down the street in our wonderful 20 degree weather with my camera and snapped this next photo to show you how much difference a week can make.
they were gorgeous while they lasted. and that's a good, solid fence. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. I saw some of these trees here yesterday at a church. Stay warm this afternoon. Maybe you and Coleen can enjoy hot chocolate!
ReplyDeleteOh that ginkgo is glorious! Sadly now the leaves have fallen. But you got some great photos! Love the sturdy wooden fence also.
ReplyDeleteSo much bright, gorgeous yellow! Love this time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a yellow and Ginko ist a very especially and nice tree. We have only two in our town.. as a child have collected the leaves (why I don't it today???)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :-)
WOW! Now the bright yellow leaves on the Gingko tree are amazing and they show off the fence.
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are a beautiful color of yellow. Sad that they don't last very long - especially if you get some high winds.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is...wow, wow WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning.
Very pretty photos, Ida - I just love the beautiful Ginkgo tree! Yes, Autumn is so fleeting, but ending the season in a blaze of glory! The fence is very nice, too. Stay warm! xo Karen
ReplyDeleteIda, your feces are different from European ones but lovely. Gosia
ReplyDeleteThe fence is elegant! Ginkgo trees are so pretty! And I went to your link because I'm into trees too. Well most of it, I'm about any tree that is a host for butterflies. But now that I read about Ginkgo trees, I think they'r very interesting! About my pictures, I learned some tips from a lady from Washington State! Her name is Me Ra Koh :) I like your pictures too, Washington State photographers are so cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tree and fence -- love the color. Definitely like the before' pictures better than the after; it was brave of you to go out and get that one though and great fun to see the contrast (especially as long as I don't have to walk out in that weather. I am a wimp!)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos, those Golden Ginko leaves are pretty individually but the whole is gorgeous overlapping the fence like that. It looks like the cold weather is here. I went out this morning and I could have done with wearing my winter gloves. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color yellow! It really stands out. I was just admiring your leaves in your banner! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThey have the pretties little leaves, like little fans.
ReplyDeletethe colors of the tree and fence do well together :)
ReplyDeletethose leaves are very bright
ReplyDeleteohhh ida, that's so beautiful!! what a find!!!
ReplyDeleteGinkgos really are made for fall. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and nice, bright color.
ReplyDeleteWell it was absolutely beautiful while it lasted!
ReplyDeleteIt is cold here in Texas too.....stay warm.
Very nice! The leaves against that wood fence look great...
ReplyDeleteI love that you are showing the 'before and after' - great! And I don't think I've ever seen a gingko tree. It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. The pretty yellow leaves makes it more unique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It is sad when they all fall )-:
ReplyDeleteThey are one of my favourite trees. They have the habit of dropping almost all their leaves in one day so it can sometimes be surprising to walk by 2 days in a row and see a bare tree the 2nd day!
ReplyDeleteLovely fence! The leaves are absolutely gorgeous! You captured some exquisite shots!
ReplyDeleteYou are making me wish I had a Ginkgo tree on our farm!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yellow jewels. What a great fence adornment.
ReplyDeleteSure got cold all of a sudden!
ReplyDeleteI was using my fan a week ago.
Golden ginkgo...very pretty!
~
Oh, my word! I didn't even know gingko trees turned such a briliant yellow. It sure went out in a blaze of glory!
ReplyDeleteOh that yellow is gorgeous! It looks like shining gold :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Ida!
That fence could well have been built just to compliment those beautiful leaves. Aren't they lovely?
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos ... enjoyed all of them. Thank you for stopping by my blog and your kind comment. You are always welcome. John
ReplyDeleteBeautiful golden Gingko trees look amazing in the Autumn. The fence looks substantial too.
ReplyDeleteWow, Ida! I love that particular shade of yellow. And I love the yellow next to the rich wood color of the fence. SO beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt was an inspired move to check out the tree one week later. Who would have thunk it, huh?
WARM wishes from m & jb (who is buried in the bed blankets as it's too cold to lie in the window)
That's a very pretty capture...love the photos! : )
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of a truly fascinating tree!
ReplyDeleteStay warm! :)
That is one beautiful fence and the yellow leaves are very complimentary! Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteFine "fence" shots and I liked seeing the autumn leaves before and afterward.
ReplyDeleteBoth fence and tree are beautiful! Isn't the yellow color of the gingko amazing? My next door neighbor has one in his front yard and it is glowing these days - yes, the leaves are still on!
ReplyDeleteHi Ida, I love that Gingko tree! What beautiful yellow leaves draping over the fence. I'm glad you took a nice walk in the cold to get the pictures of that fence. It's getting cold here tonight too but it's been mostly above freezing until now. Enjoy the weekend and stay cozy. Pam
ReplyDeleteIt's been close to zero Celsius here all week - so I have not got out with my camera either. My camera cannot actually be out in that kind of cold for long; let alone my own hands!
ReplyDeleteThat fence is gorgeous - would love that in my own backyard. The yellow of those leaves really show it off: just beautiful. My neighbour has a vine and I tried to capture that -- if I have time today, maybe I will post and link those pics.
Wow, those are absolutely lovely captures of the Ginkgo leaves cascading over the fence!

Oh, those yellow leaves!! Odd, isn't how, one day they're there, and it seems like the next day they're gone.
