Autumn neighborhood walk

Here’s a little peek of our neighborhood color on the first week of October.  We’re at the tail-end of color now, so it’s fun to look back to see the riot of reds and greens and oranges from just a month ago.  That’s one thing I love so much about spring and fall…you need to look and appreciate things now – then they’re gone.10-06-11_FallDay_063

I like this image with the green and yellow trees reaching across the road to touch.  Like friends holding hands.10-07-11_MGNS-MG&E_1266

Then heading back.  As the wind blew, yellow leaves tumbled from the trees like snow.10-07-11_MGNS-MG&E_1270

The kids kick and rustle the fallen, golden snow.10-07-11_MGNS-MG&E_1272

So much fun to run through leaves!10-07-11_MGNS-MG&E_1276

I feel really lucky to live in such a beautiful neighborhood.  There’s no time like the autumn that makes me appreciate all the big, beautiful, mature trees more.10-07-11_MGNS-MG&E_1277
