Fall here in Seattle has been excellent. It's still very warm out - all last week it was sunny with highs in the 70s. And now the leaves are changing colors and starting to fall to the ground and it's spectacular. I think fall is going to last a bit longer here than it ever did in Iowa or Minnesota, the trees seem to be taking their time and dropping leaves whenever they want instead of all at once. To the left is a pic we took Thursday night of a tree just outside our front door (literally, I took the picture from our doorway). It was already dark out by the time we got home (we get home around 7 pm) and we were heading out for a run. I can identify at least three different primary colors in those leaves. I hope they hang on for a few more days so I can continue to have a breathtaking scene on my first step out the front door.By the way, the roses in our front yard are still blooming happily.

THis year was not a good fall color year in the cities. We got an early freeze snap that seems to have just sort of negated the whole beauty of fall thing. I mean, there is some color and the mums are out and beautiful but still, a lot of trees just went from green to withered, brown, and crinkled. Sigh.............
