My favorite season

The transcendent beauty that was fall for the last few weeks is fading. The leaves seem to be past their peak of intensity and many more of them are on the ground now. Luckily, I was able to head out once or twice recently to capture the colors in my neighborhood. Here are a few pictures (click on each picture to get a better look):

This tree is right outside our window:

The overlapping trees, each with different color leaves, make the street look like a collage:

I love the bright red on the tree to the right:

This one is just amazing in its color and size. Of course, I picture all those leaves lying in a heap on the ground in two weeks and I'm glad I don't have to deal with it.
