Two months ago, around the end of September, I wondered if we were going to witness the glorious Autumn colors that we have seen in other years. If the amount of light and rainfall has been just right, the display will be eye-popping. This year didn’t start out looking so promising, but it gradually turned breathtakingly beautiful. As an example, here are four photos of the gingko tree in Holden Arboretum, taken on three different dates:
This sugar maple tree is another example of stunning beauty. On October 12th (top picture), it was displaying some promise, but I was worried that it was peaking and this would be “as good as it gets” for this year.
However, when I returned to the Arboretum 10 days later, I was greeted by this sight, and it made my heart sing.
This is why Fall is my favorite season, and it is a reminder of how blessed I am to be able to take trail walks, especially during Autumn.

One of the blessings of living in Ohio! Of course, each locale has unique advantages. I’m just glad to live in Ohio in Autumn.

I know I would miss them too, Camille. Every location has its advantages and disadvantages as far as the weather goes, but I am VERY sure I would miss all the beautiful fall colors.

So do I. It has been several years since I first discovered it in full color. Now I return every year, hoping to see it like that again. This year it was something really special.
