Today's photo is from Sheldon Martin (Our very own Tractor1!!) in the northern Catskill mountains of upstate New York. It's a birch tree that stands in front of his garden shed. Beautiful fall color and a gorgeous blue fall sky! Thanks, Sheldon, for sharing this sight with us.

Keep sending in photos of your gardens, folks!

It's dark and gloomy here in southern Indiana and most of the leaves are gone.
