What is that I see falling?

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
- Stanley Horowitz

It has been a lovely, long Fall. Though this is hardly a forested area, there is plenty of variety in the trees to give us many Fall colors. It is a changing season where some varieties of trees are still green, while others have put on their Fall colors.

Yet it is far enough advanced that some trees are long since ready for winter.

The deer have started to come down from the higher elevations.

It won't be long before the city sends out the huge vacuum cleaner trucks to suck up all the fallen leaves that are hiding the lawns and streets.

All of those leaves falling are just a precursor to the next thing to fall. After a day of rain, this morning the clouds parted to give us a glimpse of what is coming next.
