FALLING LEAVES, EPISODE II: As I noted last week, I'll start with the downslope view of our pond, since it usually comes more and more visible as the leaves continue to fall, but I won't necessarily take the picture from the same location on our deck. Here's the pond view, taken this week from the walk down to the fire pit.


We've had a big pine tree fall during a thunderstorm, so the pond view from this vantage point is a little more open than it has in the past. (Big trees take out lots of little trees as they fall; I've still got more clean-up to do).

This next picture is my 'pit stop' picture, taken looking back toward the house and the next ridge over. The land on that side is very steep, almost impassable, and so is heavily overgrown. As winter approaches, the view will mostly just turn brownish - the foliage is so dense the next ridge is almost never visible.


My final picture this week is from along the road leading to the house; the red is the 'early bird' this year - our clear sign that Fall is coming.


Last week's pictures from around the neighborhood are here.
