Timing is everything. These pictures were taken earlier today while it was bright and sunny; it's now very cloudy with rain on the way. Here's the view from our deck:
More leaves have fallen and the colors are mostly gone. Compared to last week, the pond is now completely visible from the deck.
The leaves from last week are gone - winter has begun.
Our house is now almost completely visible now that the few remaining leaves are gone. So is the fallen pine tree from last week's photo. We pulled nearly 30 feet of the trunk up to the road where it'll eventually be cut up for firewood; the remaining 20 feet or so have been used as a retaining wall to prevent the pond path from eroding.
The dock view isn't nearly as good as last week; the colors are gone and so are the remaining few leaves.
The pond view is washed out, as usual when taking pictures almost directly toward the sun. The angle is a bit different from last week. The bench has been moved by our neighbors, so it's no longer a good reference point. Even so, the leaves are almost all gone; our house and the stairs to the pond are clearly visible, and finally the ridge we live on is visible through the trees.
Last week's pictures are here, and I suspect next week's pictures will be the last for this season.
