Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You

The color of Autumn is my hue. So much of my decorating uses it.

You can see part of my door wreath behind the glass with the glue stains from the city warning me about the leaf bags I left in front of my house. Nazis!

I love the falling leaves with all the beautiful colors, no matter how fleeting.  I cringe when I see very windy days coming up when checking out the 10 day weather forecast.  I know that one very windy day, can turn the vibrant, ready leaves still on the trees into colorful, moving carpets.

Most if not all shots taken in Hidden Lake Gardens in Tipton Michigan.
