This is one of the nicest autumns we have had here in our neck of the woods for many a year. It started early and has been putting on a glorious show of color every day. The trees are now dropping their leaves as autumn wind gusts blow through. Bordering our driveway are several trees, maples, a magnolia, and a red japanese maple. As we were leaving today for a shopping run we noticed the driveway looks like a mosaic painting. Fallen yellow leaves, turns to red leaves, back to yellow again, a true portrait of nature. Of course they will have to go, but not for a while.
The picture above is from a little walking expedition Hazel and I went on a couple days ago. The photos are courtesy of her. I would like to put all of them up, but with a digital camera she can and does take massive amounts of snaps, so it's choose the one that best expresses the moment.
