LOOKING AROUND OUTSIDE THIS MORNING, I've decided it time to start my annual "Autumn Leaves" series of posts. Here's the first:

The first view is looking north from the carport deck. The pond is barely visible above the stair rail, but it will become more visible as winter takes hold.

These next two are roughly the same view, the first taken from the loft window and the second from the terrace two levels down. From the loft view you can see that one of the trees has pretty well lost all its leaves.

Here are two more pond views; one from our 'coffee bench' about 1/3 of the way down the stairs to the pond, the other from the final turn to the water showing the dock and Waterbug paddle boat.

And finally a view down the driveway to Arapaho Walk. I'll continue posting every week until the trees are bare.
