transitions

When I left for my wanders in Alberta the trees (at home) were still wearing their summer splendor, leaves of green. When I returned I could see a tinge of brown starting to emerge.

I'm starting to see (and feel) the changes of the season.

...chilly night air told me it was time to switch to flannel sheets
...shrinking daylight has me walking adorned with blinking lights to make sure I can be seen
...splashes of yellow and orange are scattered through the trees expanse of green leaves
...the wings of the seed pods of Japanese maple are bright red

Yes, autumn has arrived.
