About time, too

What a difference a couple of weeks makes. When I left for Texas, it was still pretty much green around here - a few red trees had caught on, but November wasn't fall yet, only a few dark reds showing. Now, just compare:



Most birds are gone - or probably just not around at dawn and dusk, which is what my work arrival and leaving times are now with the days so short (dark at 5!). But starlings and crows are early to rise and late to bed...







The trees make lacy patterns against the sky.



And sometimes the sky cooperates.







Occasionally, with a bit of help :-)
