a few leaves

‘Tis the season, fall is here and winter is just around the corner. This shot appears to me to be the idyllic winter scene, but upon closer inspection, you will notice color as bits of life hangs on with the onslaught of the beginnings of winter.  It will probably melt before the real winter stuff collects, then all the signs of life will disappear for the season. This was shot in Vermont, first time I was in the state.  Growing up in Southern California, while snow is not that far away, it was a highlight of the trip to see this, the first snow of the season. Love all the seasons, but I am spoiled growing up in Southern California and don’t really want to shovel the stuff.
