Haha! That haunted leave was just awesome. I noticed the spider, but, not until I was already creeped out. :) That was good.
The forest is alive with the sounds of color! Oh, what a difference a few stray days make, yes? I am seeing the change here, and except for Thursday which was overcast, the colors are pretty brilliant with the sun hitting them in just the right place. I went out to Arlington National Cemetery and wow! They are the best source for color around. I think they purposely planted trees that would make it showy at this time or added some maples to the mix.
I really like the idea of the before and after, too late for it this year for me, but, I think I might try that next year. I like the yellow leave best too. Elm? I love Durham, such a pretty place. I went to school up there for one year outside of Rochester and we played Durham. If I remember correctly, they pretty much kicked our butts, but, I could remember it wrong.
Great colors and I so love Autumn. But, Mother Nature, please don't take away my summer quite yet!
Happy Autumn, Lovely.
