The autumn reds are beginning to come into their own. During a break between rain showers, I stopped to take a few pictures of this arresting tribute to the season’s beauty.
This “winged euonymus” or “burning bush” is turning a brilliant colour.
This particular bush was of interest to me since about four or five days ago, it hadn’t started to change at all.
It won’t be long before it is entirely afire and likely causes others to stop and admire, a good thing in our busy world.
Happy Thursday.

Love the reds of autumn. They used to be so rare here, but are now everywhere on smaller trees and shrubs. Happy Thursday Lynette. Allan

Thanks, Allan. It’s great that you have some reds in your area as my memory of southern Alberta is of the beautiful yellows and goldens, but no reds or oranges.

A great tine of year to be outdoors.

Oh yes, it certainly does. I’m not looking forward to winter but definitely to living in a place where it’s so much shorter and far less harsh.

I remember the feeling when I first stepped outside in those cold winters in Dawson Creek. I could instantly feel my eyebrows (without touching them), and the first breath hurt my lungs. I don’t miss it a bit.

Oh yes, the breath that freezes! I always wore scarves around my mouth – basically, only my eyes were uncovered. -45 and frost-covered everything? I won’t miss it either!

Yup! Small, careful breaths through a scarf at first, getting braver as the lungs freeze solid and there’s no feeling left. Okay, okay, so I exaggerated a little.

We have some burning bushes and I enjoy waiting for them to turn red. Every fall it’s a different week. Your photos are lovely.

Thank you very much, Ally. Yes, right now the foliage is changing rapidly and if we blink we might miss those fantastic colours. The burning bushes are so gorgeous. Cheers.

Beautiful. I love those burning bushes. And in some places they are all in a row.

Yes, I’ve been looking for a row of them to photograph. This one was was about 4 metres (15 feet) tall and such a lovely round shape, but it’s a single. A row of these tall bushes would be a gorgeous visual! Cheers.

It’s gorgeous. Does this grow in the Okanagan? So much better than Alberta’s yellows. Maggie

Yes, these bushes grow in the Okanagan. The autumn colour palette here has a lot of depth. I used to live in Alberta and remember the yellows very well.

They become very tall around here and will provide good privacy if that’s what’s needed. This one is about 4 metres high, but I’ve seen some that are around 5 or 6 and very round. When they turn red they look so stunning!
