I’m quite sure that my neighbors just shake their heads when they see me wandering around the yard in my jammies, camera in hand!  Today was another one of those days when I looked out of the window, saw the fog, grabbed the camera and ran outside in an outfit not ready for public viewing!  🙂  These 2 images were photographed at around 8:00 AM.  The top image is across the road from my house where there is an empty lot.  Almost all of the trees here have already lost their leaves and there was just a splash of color on the forest floor, made even more vibrant by yesterday’s rain.  The image below features my Japanese Maple tree.  It’s always the last tree in my yard to change color and it’s as if it waits until the oak trees have finished putting on their show so that the Maple can shine and glow all by itself.  It really is a striking red color.
