The autumn colors are still bright in some areas, but stronger winds are causing a lot of leaves to fall. I was hit in the face by a big maple leaf today while taking some fall pictures.

Bright Autumn Colors

After mowing and mulching up leaves yesterday, it was hard to tell that I did anything as a new crop of leaves fell down overnight even though some trees are already bare. But too soon more trees will be empty and look pitiful until springtime.

More Leaves Dropping

Today leaves were falling as well as snowflakes, but I rather see the colored leaves on the trees yet to enjoy more fall days and I definitely didn’t want the snow coating my lawn since I prefer to have the snow come in late December instead.

Fallen Colors

The sun finally shone this afternoon but there was no bright colors to shine on as fall is long gone. White snow and bare trees just doesn’t have the same appeal as the autumn colors and the rainy October did not allow many nice leaf peeping days.

Autumn Missed

Autumn entrance this year felt like fall by waking up to temperatures in the 30s but after several days of rain, the sun on the chilly morning was welcomed and the sunshine brightens the colored leaves.

Autumn Arrives

As I was shoveling the snow off the cement this chilly morning, I was thinking that I would have rather been raking leaves on a warmer day instead.
