Contrary to expert predictions, the foliage was spectacular in the Midwest this autumn. Particularly notable were the leaves of the oaks (which have yet to fall in many cases), hanging in thick leathery swathes of maroon and rust, their stands spangled with the brighter tones of sassafras, maple, and beech.

Thanks for painting a picture of the noisy city with your words. Despite the noise, I miss the place.

How lovely to turn an unexpected wait in a vast airport into an artful observation. Thank you for looking outside...

I too read that the “plant experts” were calling for a very drab, uncolorful fall. They blamed this on the dry, droughty summer………However, as I drove around the city and surrounding areas I saw great colors as well.

Beautiful. Our oaks have just begun to change here in CA.
