Autumn Path
Odenton, MD
October 30, 2025

There is no season as colorful as autumn, especially in the Northeast.

Chris and I managed a walk in the leaves and trees yesterday. It was a beautiful day with the temperature about 68 degrees. It was comfortable even for us Florida residents. 

I have been having trouble deciding if the leaves are at peak color, past-peak, or still coming to peak. It is the amount of still-green trees that make me think that peak is still to come. But there are areas where it is definitely past peak. We saw some areas definitely past peak as we traveled to Annapolis yesterday.  

Deer in the Distance

I am having a lot of fun trying out my new iPhone with the drastically improved camera.

Chris called to me when she spied some deer in the distance. I told her it would not make a good image, but decided to try out my improved camera. I was wrong. Instead of the deer becoming lost in the underbrush and being too fuzzy to even realize they were deer, the camera came through with a very nice image. It became a nice autumn scene.
