Morning Stroll

I'm still waiting on the fall colors to make a grand appearance. Sure, we have a few sumac trees that are a glorious red and a few other colors appearing, but it's not near it's peak yet. I'm waiting impatiently I should add, so I carried my small camera with me on my walk this morning. I really don't do that very often, I tend to stroll and stop to often instead of keeping my heart rate up!!  I made an exception today though, I'm still a little tired from the weekend away from home so a stroll sounded extra nice!

 

I looked for color and discovered the leaves on my favorite tree are turning!  I just love the combination of color on these leaves; the bright spots of red against the shades of green.

I looked for fall textures.

 

I listened as the soft wind blew the leaves from the trees onto the road.

I picked up a leaf,  held it up to the sun,

and discovered a tiny heart.

I looked for something I've not seen before

and discovered this small flower stem.

 

I'm back, I'm refreshed, and I'm grateful for this beautiful morning!
