Another great topic from Nancy Merrill Photography in her weekly photo challenge: OCTOBER.
I have felt that October was the best month to recognize transitions…at least in my part of North Carolina. We can have quite warm temperatures followed by much colder days. We move from baseball to football. And the changing colors around us leave no doubt that fall has arrived.
There is a small community in Charlotte–Chipping-Campden–whose design was inspired by an English village. The homes are situated around a central gathering place and gardens. One highlight of the October garden there is this maple tree, almost perfect in shape and drop-dead gorgeous in color.

A Walk in the Garden 
That maple tree is so beautiful. It brought to mind the Mallorn tree in the Shire 🙂

I too do not know if it really exists. I read about it in Lord of the rings 😊

Lovely yellow leaves, John. In the Pacific Northwest we see more red and orange in Autumn.

Nice community concept. I like gardens, but they’re even better when shared with the neighborhood.

That maple tree does look perfect. Sounds like a lovely community too. Here in India, we don’t get these colors.

Thank you, Smitha. I was surprised at your comment because I always think of India as a very colorful country.

It is a very colorful country John depending on the place and that too because of our attire. But our trees do not change color.
