Well, last week's Saturday Snapshot was the pre-hurricane view, as we prepared for the superstorm, so I figured I should show a post-hurricane view. My husband and I took a walk around our neighborhood on Monday, after most of the storm had passed and were surprised to find no damage at all! The only obvious effects of the storm here (where, unbelievably, the storm center passed through) were some leaves down, as predicted, but even then, some trees still have plenty of leaves left:
 |
| Hurricane Sandy dumped a lot of leaves on the ground but still left some in the trees. |
And, although I feared that the storm would remove all of our fall color, it turned out that it just transferred it from the trees to the ground:
 |
| A rainbow of color was left on the ground after the storm. |
We were even able to enjoy a fun Halloween:

| Happy Halloween 2012! |
That tree has beautiful foliage. Very glad Sandy brought you no severe ill effects!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens you weathered the storm so well. A few downed leaves is perfectly acceptable. I love your door ghost!
ReplyDeleteHappy the storm bypassed you. Hurricanes are not my friends.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shot is of all the colored leaves in the street. Wish I had all those beautiful leaves to share with children here at my school....Here on the Texas Gulf Coast we don't really get the idea of fall!
Here's my Saturday Snapshot. Hope you will stop by.
I am glad you are safe.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are wonderful. The joy of autumn.
The storm took the rest of our leaves down too - now I'm waiting for it all to dry up so I can rake them away. It's been raining all week! Looks like you were all set for Halloween, though. Love your jack-o-lanterns.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you didn't suffer any damages from the storm! Very colorful leaves there!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you survived the storm intact :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad u captured this lovely photos and were not affected by the storm. So sad about what happened to so many.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors! So bright and vivid! So glad Sandy skipped you and still thinking of those she didn't.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that all went well for you with Sandy. I love your photo of the leaves on the ground -- still just as colorful!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were so lucky with Sandy, and even able to see the beauty of the post-Sandy leaves.
