Day 304: Autumn Splendor

Today was overcast and breezy, not quite cold but suggesting a change in the air.  It was late afternoon when I set out, and perhaps sixty degrees; tomorrow, the forecast calls for winds up to 35 mph and a high barely exceeding fifty.  The tree leaves’ changing colors stood out magnificently against the gray sky.  Here are two images of autumn splendor from the walk:  the first is an impressionistic shot of the foliage of a sassafras tree along the road; the second, an image of three oak leaves and the spaces between (and within).
