How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days (John Burroughs) ~ 11/2/14

October was beautiful this year and still today, dried leaves were raining on the roof. But the star of the month was the color. This year it seemed more intense or maybe it just lasted a little longer. Earlier walks were documented here on 10-8 and here on 10-9.

On the windy days, the leaves swirled around me and themselves, performing their autumn dance.

Here is the rest of October, starting with 10-12:

10-19

10-21

10-23

 

10-25

10-26

10-28

Another season rolls by.

Grand River Drive Walk in Ada ~ 10/9/14

A few cars and trucks may come flying by but on the other side of the path we always have Holiday Farm.

Sometimes I take a swing through the cemetery to add steps and a change in scenery. Today I paid my respects to Rix Robinson and all the others hopefully resting peacefully.

The cemetery sign needs a bit of work.

Then back down Grand River Drive.

Sunshine, pine cones, pine needles, and dying leaves - what more could you ask for?
