I love the quote that Kristi chose for this challenge an autumn leaves. I believe that we can always find beauty in the things around us . . . maybe even garbage, that may be a stretch.
Kristi and
Melissa have done a fantastic job of their leaf pictures.
We don't have many beautiful leaves now There have been heavy winds and they tend to strip the trees of their leaves. This is what I was able to find at our Park by the Old Man River today. We rarely see reds since we are in the west where few true maple trees can grow. This was my favorite find.

This is the river. I love the reflected color in the river. Too bad the winds took a lot of it away.
