The weather was perfect today! But the track team was on the track at AU so I couldn’t walk on the track. I ended up walking around the neighborhood. I walked 2.81 miles today. I was up early enough to see the sun through he trees. Here’s a cool shot of the sun and the trees.
Yesterday we went to the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral to have a picnic. While there we walked around the garden and of course I took some pictures. Spring has begun. In the weeks to come, more and more flowers and trees will be in bloom. Here are just a few shots of what has already begun to bloom.
On Sunday we took a walk around the neighborhood to see the fall colors. I thought I wouldn’t see any this year but we saw several colorful trees. Here are a few pictures from our walk.
Fall started yesterday at 4:44 PM. Today was the first full day of fall. The temperatures were very cool this morning. I think it was like 50 degrees. It was crisp and definitely felt like fall. During the day it only got up to 70 degrees but the humidity was low and there was a cool breeze most of the day.
Fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp nights, low humidity warm days, the trees changing colors, the leaves falling and all the holidays we experience between now and the end of the year. Mostly I love the colors I see in the trees. Each year is a bit different. Sometimes the rain fall, temperatures, etc. are just right to make for a beautifully colorful fall. I’m not sure how this year will turn out but I’ve already started to see signs of a quick color change. There’s one tree in my parking lot that changes quickly. I checked it out today and sure enough most of the leaves had changed color and started to fall. I thought it was a little soon for the leaves to be falling. The color is almost on track but the falling leaves is too soon. I want them to stay on the trees to enjoy them. But you can’t stop nature. The trees will do what they are going to do with the conditions they’ve been given. I just hope I see some really colorful trees this year. I don’t want them to turn brown too soon.
What’s your favorite season? Why?
