It's been a warm and wonderful fall so far. It started with a sunny, dry and unseasonably warm September and October is following along behind in similar fashion. The evenings and early mornings have turned crisp, but this week we're due for some temperatures in the 70s. I'll take it. This weekend O and I walked to the playground by taking a path through a graveyard. There are some huge old maples there, and no one rakes, so you get to see the splendor of uninterrupted leaf fall.
The sun was just right to sparkle the dew on the leaves brilliantly and when O saw me pull out my phone he came running to see what I was looking at. Diamonds, we agreed.
We noticed that only the backs of the leaves can catch the dew. Another lesson from mother nature. The face we hide from the world is often the most interesting.
