In October, I began taking pictures of the cherry tree at our driveway. I stood on the back steps. The tree was just beginning to turn to autumn red-orange. I’ve been taking pictures weekly to trace the changes.

I wasn’t “faithful” in taking pictures at the same time every day, but I did try to have the same composition (more or less). The changes are not as drastic right now, although some of the trees across the pond in the background have gotten more color this week. It’s interesting.

I have the “sniffles” this week. I’m hoping it’s just allergy right now from all the ragweed and privet growing around the ponds. However, it is “cold season,” and I don’t care what the experts say, when the temperature changes from the mid-to-low 80s one day and mid-50s the next, it’s bound to cause a reaction in the human body! I’m drinking hot tea by the gallon (along with water on the side).

Some of the other images I snapped today:

I think this is one of the prettiest falls we have had in a while around the pond. I am savoring it–in spite of the sneezing and sniffling.
