There are few falls in my memory that have featured the brilliant colors of foliage as we have enjoyed this year. You can find brilliant reds, yellows and browns across our Kansas landscape. I find myself really amazed at the colors that are appearing and staying on the trees around our home and on the campus.
I am particularly
taken by the tree near one of our chapels on campus. It has slowly turned from green to this beautiful rust color. Perhaps what makes it so striking is the oxidized copper roof in the background. I love the contrast of the green patina and the rusty looking leaves. I also pass this tree on the walk to and from my car each day and see it as a great sight to bookend my work day.
We enjoyed some rainy fall days this week. Rainy fall days are some of my favorite! I took this photo near our library at the end of the work day, one that was cloudy, cool and rainy.
I can't forget this beauty. It is in my line of sight when I exit the north doors of my building. This tree usually has some color, but this year, it has out done itself. If I remember right, in most years, this tree will drop all leaves all at once...beautiful color one day and gone after a day of strong wind or a hard freeze overnight.
This fall has been a perfect way to ease into the winter ahead.
