The weather got a little chilly there for a week or two but now, the last few days, it has been warming up and getting really nice. Today the temperature actually broke 80 so after church we decided to go looking at the fall leaves. The weather station says right now we are at peak, though I think they are just a little bit premature - there's still a fair amount of green out there that hasn't turned colors yet. Nevertheless, the trees are absolutely beautiful right now. So we drove around looking for good examples of fall colors, taking pictures as we went, wherever we saw something that impressed us. We ended up at a little nature reserve. We parked outside and took one of the trails in from the back end of the reserve. Really nice.
Yes, we were there. We found a cool looking bench so we stopped and just enjoyed the scenery, all the quiet of the woods. We actually stopped at a couple of benches to enjoy the woods. It was really nice, a nice way to spend a little time on the Sabbath, enjoying all wonderful sights and sounds around us. Very relaxing. It would have been nice if we could have stayed longer. It reminded me that we never made it out camping this summer. We'l have to make sure to fix that next year.

Looks gorgeous! Hooray for leaves and trees. Townshend and I have been having fun talking about falling leaves and pointing out the turning colors. What a beautiful earth we've been given!
I heard that, too about the peak being this week, and I though just what you did: really?? There's still so much green! Looks like your trip was lovely.
