A Little Preview of Autumn

After eleven days and over ten inches of rain, the sky is blue once again.

This was our view last night.

It was a glorious sight to behold. 

The rain that once was, has left a fresh autumn breeze...

...gently rustling through the ever changing leaves.

It seems that everything is littered with bright colors...

 

...and strangely shaped objects.

If you look closely, you can see tiny remnants of moisture still clinging to each petal.

And I love it when that one certain leaf stands out in the crowd.

It won't be long before they all blend together in a sea of reds and oranges.

Even the little birds sense that change that is taking place...

...and I think they must be enjoying it too.

Rain or shine, all they really want is food in their bellies.

For the most part, most everything is still quite green,

especially after all of the rain.

But little by little, with each passing day,

it's quite clear that autumn is showing itself...just as it should.

And I'm loving it :)
