Heeeeeerrrs Autumn

Yes, the cooler days and nights are upon us. The only redeeming part is the beauty of the leaves as they turn from fresh green to glorious shades of red, yellow, and orange. I often thought it seemed odd that the leaves look their most beautiful just before they die and fall off the tree that supported them all summer long. But anyway, here are a few scenes of water, trees, and rocks in the crisp October air. I really like the one tree that appears as if it is trying to escape the cold water and the roots are crawling up onto the embankment.
