Autumn Color

The sweet gum on the west side has a real red cast for the first time in memory ...


... the leaves started to fall almost before they turned color, starting with Halloween Night's steady rain which kept the trick-or-treaters inside ...


... but in the sun, the color is spectacular ...


... and the close-up views extraordinary ...


... perfection amid imperfection!


... and on the north side, more green, still, than gold.
