Autumn is in its peak color glory. A walk at Hills and Dales MetroPark filled was an immersion into some beautiful golden hues.
We took a drive to one of the highest points in Dayton to take in some more fall colors and a gorgeous sunset.
The frost is on the pumpkin? Nope, more like three inches of snow!
And now presenting the clash of the seasons!
Follow the yellow brick road. The neighborhood ginkgo trees dropped their leaves in a matter of hours. Now a couple days later, the leaves have turned to mush and my car is a mess. Hope it warms up enough to get it into a car wash.
More gold upon white.
Leaf confetti.
I rediscovered a word. Flâneur: Someone who strolls aimlessly but enjoyable, observing life and the surroundings. What a spot-on description for this past week.
Keep wandering, and exploring. I love the reflection shot at the top. The first snow is always pretty, then the novelty wears off for me.
ReplyDeleteThat pond offers so many beautiful reflections year 'round.
DeleteGlorious pictures and I like the new word. An early snowfall?
ReplyDeleteThis much snow was not typical for this time of year. We get dustings but not 3+ inches!
DeleteAs I scrolled down looking at your photos, the sight of that snow actually shocked me. You have had snow already? That seems so very early but I guess it really isn't. I do love the fall colors but I bet after a snow, the leaves will be falling like crazy.
ReplyDeleteYes, 3.6 inches of snow fell the other day. It was a record snow fall for this early in the season. We get dustings this time of year, not accumulations. Most of it has melted.
