Unexpected light and colors

Despite all the gloomy weather forecasts earlier in the week, the sun poked through yesterday afternoon and I had a good walk with Tasha and my camera. On the right are a big tree and some of the hedges in the across-the-road neighbors' yard.

I guess you can call these "fall colors" since officially, winter hasn't settled in yet.
These golden leaves are in our back yard.

Ivy is climbing up the trunk of this apple tree in our yard. Another chore for us is pulling the ivy off before it completely takes over and pulls the tree down.

Winter is not definitely here yet, but it's certain that summer is gone. You can see that I got the greenhouse at least partially cleaned out this year, despite illnesses and some lousy weather earlier. You can also see that Walt cut the wisteria back fairly radically this year.
