Finally fall—and rain, too!

Last week’s rain continued to fall after I posted, and we’ve gotten a little more since. We also had a couple of mornings with light frost, and today the wind is blowing. The leaves that are still on the trees seem more colorful every day, and the view of the river is a mosaic of autumn hues with touches of greens. I left early one morning to run errands and had to stop to get this photo of fog on the river.

The muted reds of the oaks, the brilliant oranges of the maples, and the shining yellow hickories keep me busy with my camera, but it doesn’t capture the actual beauty I see. Last spring’s tragic loss of the 100′ oak tree opened a hole in the canopy, and this hickory has painted it a dazzling yellow.

The deer come as usual to be fed, some days both morning and afternoon! They are waiting for me on days when I am “late” getting home from school. 🙂

Li’l Buck is filling out, and the fawns and does usually run from him, which means he doesn’t have to share.

I don’t have anything more to share today, either. I’ll try to post again soon.
