Yesterday afternoon we walked our dogs in a local park instead of heading for Two Tree Island.
Treading over the fallen leaves that carpeted the ground, scenting the wispy smoke from a nearby bonfire and wishing that we had worn gloves against the bitterly cold wind, we were reminded that autumn is well on its way to becoming winter.
The thing that struck us also in the sunshine was the splendid view of the trees covering the hills in the far distance and blazing with an abundance of glorious russet colours. They reminded us that we need not have to travel to New England to see the Fall colours for they are here in abundance this year.
With a couple of friends, we did take a trip to New England a few years ago. It was a hugely enjoyable trip but the thing that amused us most, and has stuck with us ever since, was the brilliantly vibrant gold colour of a single tree that stood out among the many, many thousands of others we saw. Though we did a week’s tour of New England it was that one tree that was the most noteworthy and beautiful.
It was the tree standing opposite the entrance to our hotel!
