It was a beautiful fall day and for some odd reason I thought it would be better to take the dogs and my camera for a walk than clean house. It is finally turning chilly after a warm late summer and early fall, plus it’s been very dry here so we’re not having the brilliant colors we have had in the past. But Mother Nature is trying.

A little color peaking through the green leaves

One lone tree has turned in the midst of still green trees

Pumpkins and mums seem to be the fall decoration of choice

A little more color here and there

The reds aren’t as bright but it’s still pretty

Purple mums

Purple mums

A giant oak tree is turning a little at a time
