The Silver Maple at the edge of the yard shed this brilliant leaf.
Autumn is here.
Brilliant.

Dramatic.
This afternoons’ autumn sky was quite dramatic, with clouds dropping rain that largely though not completely evaporated before reaching the ground.
Still looked lovely.
Even after the first frost and the first hard freeze of the season, this Johnny Jump-up flower still looked lovely.
Stands out.
A fallen Silver Maple leaf stands out from the deck boards and fallen Manitoba Maple leaves. No, I did not arrange this.
Turning leaves, turning seasons.
Sunrise.
Sunrise, on a late summer day by the calendar. Sunrise, on an early autumn day by how it feels.
Fall colours of blue, brown, and white . . .
. . . will soon become winter’s blue and white.
And that’s fine. I am not sad about winters’ approach . . . I have no control over the weather or climate. It’s better, healthier, to accept what will be.
Arch
Nearby trees appear to arch almost directly overhead.
Hang on
Black-eyed Susans hang on into late October.
Back on Thursday.
Harvest
A combine cuts the first swathe through a soybean field. The last swathe may be done before I see the field tomorrow morning.
Back on Thursday.
