Here in North Idaho fall is rapidly approaching. The leaves are starting to turn, pumpkins are developing their bright orange (and red and white!) hues, and all the local critters are gorging themselves to try to bulk up for the long winter ahead. But, the most obvious sign that caught my attention and made me realize the season we are in is the chilis are turning red! That happens when summer is most definitely at its end.
Also, I love seeing everyone's fall and spring garden pics! This is awesome!😊
Love those chilis! We have some peppers that are turning nice bright colors too (in Vermont)
Oh wow! I think we have similar hardiness zones, but on top of those peppers I bet you get all those lovely deciduous tree leaves of color gloriousness to be surrounded by, I'd love to see that!
The maples are starting to change a bit 🙂 we have a very mixed forest. Maples, oaks, aspen, beech, white pines, hemlock, walnut. More white pine than you would expect at least around my place. It varies alot with elevation, precipitation, and well everything else haha
This is my best fall photo ever I think 😍
That photo truly captures the essence of Fall. It also triggers wonderful memories of when I lived in the US. Beautiful photo @steven-patrick. Whimsical
The fall colored Adirondack chairs and the reflections do give it a whimsical feel. I agree 👍
Every time I think of the word fall, I am going to think of your beyond incredible photo! I adore everything about it, holy wow! Absolutely the best!
We are conifer land here, but we do have tamaracks (larch) that turn yellow in the fall and birch trees, and I have one lone chestnut in the yard, so we do get a bit of color😊
I don't think we will get colors that good this fall because it has been too dry 🙁
Wow - gorgeous. Looks unreal.
Thanks 🙂
Absolutely stunning!! You should print and frame that!
I have done that with a few photos. I may have to add this one. 👍
Wow! So beautiful. 😃
🙏 🙂
😃
Wow... What a magnificent shot. This is the best I've seen yet, too :)
Ok since this is getting so much play I should confess my wife took this shot 😊
It's so perfectly taken :) Kudos to her for such a beautiful capture.
Kudos to your wife
Absolutely beautiful the symmetry as a result of the reflection on the lake?
Yes its a reflection off Lake Dunmore in Addison County, Vermont.
Beautiful
It's a stunning picture, so well captured and love the mirror image captured
Thanks the mirror image turned out so good its hard to tell the actual image from the mirror. It all runs together. Where do the trees stop and the lake start?
Nice chilis my friend, yep, fall is fast approaching!
Enjoy the color changes.
Thanks😊 I hope you enjoy all the fall color too!
Look at those beautiful peppers! We had let our tomatoes just grow wild and I noticed some red in the garden yesterday--same thing happened with the cherry tomatoes left on the vine. The cooler weather made a big handful of them ripen in a blink!
Ooh, I am right in the tomatoes are ripe situation with you, everyday there is more and more to harvest and process. I sure hope you are enjoying all those lovely tomatoes, we sure are lol!
Ripe tomatoes are always a blessing!
I love seeing everyone's pics too! Don't forget to come back and comment on a few!!
I can't wait til chilli season! As I have a greenhouse they ripen til really, really late in the season! As I have a new fermented hot sauce recipe I can't wait to make more!
Ooh, fermented hot sauce sounds amazing! I can't wait to see a post about that😉!
I wrote one a while back but I'll share again in jalapeno season!
YAY! Can't wait!
Nice - I learnt something new. I did not know becoming red means the season is ending.
