November

With a Robert Frost chaser

The kaleidoscope of leaves you see here were captured eight days ago. How quickly the forest changes this time of year. There are no longer any bright colors. Even the enduring beech leaves have turned bronze. The forest floor is currently brown; the bare trees a steel grey.

Winter visited us yesterday and today, which is no longer unusual for this time of year. Warmer temperatures will return briefly over the next three weeks, but November invites biting winds and freezing temperatures as a preview of the season to come.
