    More Signs of Fall

    Sign of Fall
    Sign of Fall

    Sitting in a small coffee shop called Cafe Ole. It’s a new place that I just found out about it. I’m also finishing up a breakfast burrito from a local Mexican restaurant that they serve here. We have overcast skies and temperatures is hovering around 43 degrees. I consider it a good fall day. The forecast is for winds to pick up as a front moves into the area. I found this leaf a couple weeks ago while wandering around outside. The weather and the fallen leaf are bringing on a melancholy feeling this morning. I’m back to work again tomorrow for a 4-day trip. Work sure does get in the way of life.

    Signs of Fall

    We all know the signs of the approaching fall season. We have football games now on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We put the shorts back in the bottom draw of the dresser. Starbucks comes out with their Pumpkin Spice Latte. Stores are putting out Halloween candy and Christmas decorations. We have cooler nights. The days begin to shorten. Squadrons Canada Geese are heading south. Leaves begin to change colors and fall from their branches. Fall is approaching.

    The Road Not Taken

    Wilcox Trail at the Environmental Learning Center

    I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. – Robert Frost

     I’m off again on a trip. See ya later.

    Fallen Leaf

    Fallen Leaf

    I was enjoying hearing the leaves rustling in the wind as it moved across the pond outside my condo. It was almost noon and the sun was shinning so I stepped outside with my camera. The first thing I noticed was this leaf lying on the seat of my bicycle. It was a much different day than the previous three cold and foggy mornings. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    Selling Pumpkins

    While on my way to meet a friend for lunch I passed this family selling few pumpkins. I just had to stop and get a photo. They weren’t very talkative but they also did not try to sell me anything. I wonder if the truck still runs! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    Fallen Leaves

    Fallen Leaves

    Last Saturday it was cold with mixed rain and snow. Today is expected to be sunny with temperatures in the low 80’s. Pretty typical of the Fall season. And, I start a 4-day trip this morning so I’ll not get to experience the nice weather. Summer of 2011 is now just memories with a few archived images on the hard drive. I can feel the cold of winter in the air each morning as the final days of 2011 are quickly approaching. I’m looking forward to the coming year as it will offer many changes for me. But for now I embrace all the moments I can, watching as green leaves change colors then fall to the ground. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
