Autumn Leaves

I did my weekly walk in the Dykeman Spring Nature Park this morning, mainly because it's supposed to be pouring rain tomorrow morning and I have a doctor's appointment Monday (my post-op follow-up). And today's walk was absolutely gorgeous! The Fall color is definitely in full swing here, and it was overcast, so the color really popped. Come for a walk with me and see.

One of the Ginkgo trees along King St. near the post office is in full color

Lots of color along the creek as it runs between the baseball fields

The forest's edge along the Dykeman Walking Trail

The best place to view this patch of color is from the other side of the north duck pond

Another angle on the creek as it runs between the ball fields, this time on the way back out

And now for some appropriate music! I had already decided to include Eva Cassidy's cover of the popular standard Autumn Leaves, specifically the live version from the 1996 gig at Blues Alley. What I didn't expect to find was this magnificent film produced by Passepartout Films mixing that Blues Alley clip with an orchestral background by the London Symphony Orchestra and some really spectacular photography. Ahhhhhhhh! The perfect cap on a lovely walk. Enjoy!
