The first day of autumn felt more like summer with the temperature in the 90s and dew points in the 70s. The heat won’t last, just like the autumn colors won’t last long and the cold of winter will come too quickly.

The cooler temperatures this winter feels more like temperatures for the end of September and some of the maple trees think it is autumn already too as they are changing colors.

The brief sunshine this morning made the turning leaves look brighter but now the cloudy and gusty day is sending a lot of leaves airborne.

While one generally thinks of colored leaves in the autumn, springtime also displays some red maple leaves when they first emerge before turning to summer green color.

The bright sunshine on a Sunday morning reveals the fallen leaves on the hilly forest ground. The colorful carpet is a reminder of the approaching season when the color will turn to white.

The Labor Day weekend is often referred to as the end of summer (even if not the end of astronomical summer yet), but apparently the maple trees think it is autumn as leaves started to turn last week since they heard it was meteorological autumn already. So I guess it is the end of summer (even if the dew point is 73 right now and doesn’t fell like autumn yet).

The leaves were blowing on the tree yesterday, but not pretty autumn colors or summer green maple leaves, as it was only some hardly brown oak leaves on one small tree refusing to let go and join the blowing snow.

Some people and some things are greedy and old man winter is one of them as he steals most of autumn and part of spring. He doesn’t look at the calendar and see he is only supposed to have three months and especially not this winter since it snowed a week and a half after autumn started. Autumn should holler and stomp its feet but instead it quietly slips away after a brief appearance and the evidence of its passing soon becomes buried under the snow.

Since today is the last day of autumn, one more colorful autumn picture is needed especially since another cloudy dreary day and looking out at stark bare trees.

With the “official start” of winter coming soon according to the calendar, even though it snowed on October 3 this year, I figured another autumn picture was needed on this cloudy morning with more snow flakes gently falling from the gray sky since it is still autumn.
