Colourful Autumn

 Red maple leaves in a local park

How can anyone feel grumpy when all you have to do is look outside or - better yet - walk outdoors to revel in such beauty?

 Reds and yellows

This time of year Mother Nature is not shy about wearing red and yellow, that's for sure!

The leaves in the first photo are/were on this tree on a sunnier day

Please visit Michelle at Rambling Woods for more NATURE NOTES.

    Mother nature as proved a tad more modest here in the generally conservative Commonwealth of Virginia. :-)

    And considerably more modest yet in the equally conservative UK.
