Changing Colors

For the first time, Wednesday morning it was in the high 30s when I got up.  Brrr.  Not that cold the last couple of mornings and the temperatures have ended near 80 in the afternoons, but the times we have been down into the 40s overnight has started the process.  There are a couple of trees in the neighborhood that are always the first to change colors and the process has started.

There are even a few leaves to rake up.

However, those few trees are the exception rather than the rule.  There are still flowers blooming (although sometimes there are more dead blooms, than fresh ones).

And in the case of the majority of trees, while occasionally there are a few leaves that have gone rogue (by starting to change color), the leaves are still a lovely green.

It is after all still September.  And even though a few of the neighbors have already got their Halloween Trick or Treat signs out...

it's still a little early.
