Every fall I enjoy the changing of the leaves. Especially my neighbors’ red maple.
This year I was worried about the colors because of the ongoing drought. The leaves slowly turned bright red, but it took forever.
My wife said one afternoon it looks like tomorrow will be the day that we will have peak red on the tree.
Strangely it rained that night. Not much but if forced half the leaves to fall.
I don’t think I have ever seen such a beautiful carpet of leaves on the lawn. By the end of the day the leaves had started to shrivel up.
Natural beauty can be so fleeting. I was glad to enjoy it, and I did not have to walk far to find it.
