Autumn

Autumn comes late in the Sierra Nevada Foothills and if the weather is benign it tends to stick around for awhile. Soon, the cold winds of winter will strip away the last remnants of autumn, and the quiet season will begin.

 

Here the leaves on our Japanese Maple have morphed into a sizzling scarlet bouquet of color. The turning of our maple tree is my signal that it's time to wrap the pipes and get out the winter clothes.
