This time of year can be so gloomy in this part of the country. It seems like the sun rarely shows itself and we have days at a stretch of grey, cloudy weather. All the colors of the fall leaves help to make up for it though. From my back door, I can see the burning bush in all it's glory, so I went out and took a picture of it, and a few other pictures, just to bring a little light into my day.
As you can see, we haven't raked up the leaves yet, but they make a colorful ground cover for now.
This is a maple tree down the street from us. It is always gorgeous this time of year. My phone's camera is making these lighter and pinker than they are in real life.
And this is our maple tree last week, before it dropped all of it's leaves.
I also picked one of the last roses of the year, to keep me company while I work at my desk.
And today, the clouds are gone and the sun is coming up. It's going to be a beautiful day!
