Autumn Colors

Two weekends ago as we were in Niagara Falls, I was surprised that the autumn colors were only beginning to be on display in the trees.

This picture was taken along the Niagara River of trees in colorful foliage--but no where near maximum color.

I had expected to see fully colored trees--robed in the colors of Autumn.

But not.

That has since occurred here in Maryland and the leaves are falling from the trees with increasing ferocity.

That coupled with the rain really lets me know--the dark times of winter are upon us.

But it is nice to enjoy the colors of the trees while they last because their beauty will sustain us though the gray and white season.
