On my walk today to check the progress of autumn I ended up on my belly looking at the violet seed heads of the grass growing in our field. It made for an interesting photo.

I was very happy to have the cloudless blue sky and a cool north breeze to accompany me after the last couple of days of clouds and rain…We are seeing more color (or lack of) in the trees along the trail. Some of the Chinese tallows have already lost most of their leaves…others are in full color.
