After a few more days of rain, we finally had a warm and sunny day today, with a temperature of around 80 degrees. The warm sunshine brought the bees and sulphur butterflies to my still-blooming flowers. (We have so many of these sulphur butterflies here right now. I counted more than a dozen of them in the yard today!) The leaves in the woods are nearing peak color now, especially those around the edges of the yard that are in full sun, and the maple trees are exceptionally pretty. Click photos to enlarge.

After nearly a month of torrential rains here and cooler windy weather for the past couple of days, a lot of the leaves have already fallen. There is lot of green still left in the mountains but in the sunniest areas, the leaves are bright and pretty. These photos were all taken from my yard. Click on any photo to enlarge.
