Falling Fall

The weather front that is supposed to drop our temperatures thirty degrees today is looming in the background.  A sky full of gray clouds is heralding its arrival.  As I walked home from school today at lunch time, however, it was still quite warm.

I passed this tree on my way.  For some reason, I found this image beautiful and comforting.

It just looks like fall to me even though it doesn't have all of the wonderful colors of changing leaves that we most often associate with this time of year.  I love the restful spirit fall; nature is settling down.  The fall is by far my favorite season.

I took this picture with the camera on my phone.  I may have to go back with my "big" camera and see of I can do the whole scene a little more justice.

Happy fall!
