Our Fall colors could have been better, but those Pears come through every time

A few weeks ago, I drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see about getting some photographs to use on my website and blog. The color was disappointing this year, but I managed to get one or two pretty photographs...

This weekend, while working on our own property in Earlysville, taking care of Fall clean-up, I was stopped in my tracks by the beauty of our surroundings.

I have to say, however, that there's no color quite as stunning as the color we get from the Bradford Pears which line Bleak House Road. They bring joy to all of us who live and walk along this beautiful road.
