Our flowering Cherry Tree was a picture of “fire” this morning.
The leaves have been turning quite quickly in the past week but it had reached flame toned proportions this morning.
It is a breath catching picture directly out from our living area. A bright torch against the grey skies of the past days.
The weather forecasters have predicted a storm to hit this afternoon and they are on the money on this prediction.
The sky when I went out with the camera this morning was grey-blue with a foreboding look about it as the forces of nature slowly gathered.
As I type this post the wind is at gale force and the trees are bending deeply. I wonder what my “fiery” picture tree will look like tomorrow.

The leaves are a lovely colour. Hope the storm isn’t too bad.
Thanks Juliet. It is pretty fierce at the moment.
Keep snug and warm, OG. It’s raining heavily here.
I will try Ruth. It is very stormy and the power went off briefly just as we sat down to eat. OK again now…fingers crossed.
Yes, our power is going on and off, and I think the last of the red liquid amber leaves will have gone by morning too…
Great how your photos show the storm approaching. Tomorrow bare branches! I think all our leaves are gone, whipped off by the wind and rain.
