The signs of fall are all around us. The leaves are falling, the air is brisk, the temperatures are cooler, and the days are shorter. Many homes are displaying the ornamental decorations of fall, with pumpkins, fall wreaths, bales of hay, corn husks, and cute little scarecrows adorning the entryway. I seem to have noticed all of these changes more suddenly this year, as I have begun taking my routine walks early in the morning, just before the sun rises. It feels good to be in tune with the colors of this season we call autumn. I just happened to look down as I was walking this morning, and found a bright red maple leaf that had fallen from a nearby tree in our subdivision. I picked it up, and it just looked so perfect. I had to take it home and get a picture of it. It reminds me of our little Autumn Blaze Maple tree that we just planted a few months ago. I can hardly wait for it to produce a leaf as beautiful as this one.
