The morning light slants golden into my yard today as the maples leaves are drifting to the frost-tipped grass. One of those perfect autumn days when the whole world looks alive with fall colors. I had spotted some gorgeous ginkgo trees on a drive and they were my destination. So instead of taking a hum drum exercise class this morning, I hopped on my bike, wound a scarf around my face, and went leaf peeping. Here's what I found.

Hard to capture on film, but these were frost-covered



Reminds me of my son's room with his clothes lying all over the floor

Beautiful blue sky this morning

Red maple
Love this one. The blanket of golden leaves looks like a reflection
Surpringly, on the Prairie Path there were fewer pretty leaves. 


3 beautiful ginkgo trees outside Ahlgrim's Funeral Home. 



I wonder why they chose to plant ginkgo?

Another admirer and I decided we didn't want to walk through them. Gorgeous!
