First Snow
In our house we always mentally count winter as beginning at the start of December. The weather agreed with us … first snow of the season last night, about 4.5". Unfortunately half the family is now a little sick, so the outside enjoyment was very short and half-hearted.

Silver and Gold
Second stop was the Canopy Tree Walk. 99% of the leaves have fallen, but these golden ones remained to contrast with the plain silver of the trunks. The picture doesn’t do justice to the metallic feeling and the glow of the backlit leaves.

Tin Man
Visit to Bernheim Forest with the family today. First stop was this giant 27 foot Tin Man statue. Kids loved it. Makes me want to read Wizard of Oz again.

Deer in the Woods
Left work 15 minutes late then got caught in a 30 minute traffic jam. Worth it for this encounter with a deer in the slanty afternoon light on my weekly hike at Iroquois.

Family Walk
Went to George Rogers Clark Park this afternoon. Another beautiful autumn day. These two trees — oak & cypress I think — really perfect in shape and contrast with the blue blue sky.

Summit Field
Dry grasses surrounded by maples, oaks, and beech trees. Not sure about peak color in the trees, but the sky is amazing.

Stone Steps
Stone steps on my favorite trail, view of the bright blue autumn sky where it opens out near the top.

Afternoon Hike
The time change makes a huge difference in the light slanting over the landscape.

Short hike with the kids and friends. Fall is still just a hint in the leaves, but the temperature is nice and cool. At the Louisville Nature Center:
