A view up S Street NW from Connecticut Ave. last week. This scene caught my eye as I was biking by because it was such a vibrant fall scene. The picture doesn't really capture it, but it was cool to see such a colorful tree-lined city street. At right is a picture of a tree a few houses up from us in our neighborhood. Again, it was a very very vibrant red and just popped out of its surroundings saying, “Look at me! I'm on fire with fall!” But such things are not always easy to capture on film, at least not for me. Still, you get the fall idea, right? All these leaves are actually gone now, blown off in recent days of high winds, rain, and colder temperatures. Now the ground is covered by spotty blankets of mostly brown leaves. Fall is almost over in D.C., I think.
