Been in a wicked low energy patch, but this morning, a few days ago, I did a very un-depressed thing.  I went outside and took pictures of the beautiful fall foliage around my house.

Our beloved Japanese Maple turns brilliant crimson twice a year.

With the Blue Spruce

The view from my writing chair

From outside the window

Spider web on the front porch

The maple with the house and the french doors next to my chair behind.

Looking up
