November 8 -14
For weeks now the trees have been blushing furiously in anticipation of standing naked for a season.
When all of us animals pack on extra - fur, fat, sweaters, hats - the trees alone brave the cold bare.
Against an impossible turquoise sky, their leaves are a bursting, delicious spectrum of cinnamon, maple, crimson, and, butter.The light is lovely as it weakens and filters...
...and we slowly spin away and away from the sun.

That one with the streaks of sunlight is breathtaking.
It was such a pleasure to look at your photos: we've had nothing but low, leaden skies for a week, typical for November. The sky won't be turquoise again until January, when the glare off the snow is a piercing as the sub-zero wind chills.
I have a big crush on this post. The imagery in your words is wonderful, your pictures are incredible. It has been beautiful here the past few weeks, and you've captured the feelings and sights poetically.
De - Oh that kind of weather is my worst - cold and gray-white. January however sound pretty!
Rebecca - Thanks, you are so sweet!
Amazing pictures!
I'm not sure which I liked more, the beautiful fall pictures or the delicious commentary for each of them. :) The streaks of sunlight were particularly lovely... I've never had that happen in a photo before.
Amy- Thank you so much. I got lucky with the light that afternoon for sure.

So pretty, your words and your pictures! I love the one with the light filtering through the trees.
Absolutely beautiful! Nature is full of such beauty, and to be able to capture it in a moment in time is like putting that moment in your pocket and carrying it forever. Love it!
