As the rain and sleet pour down (does sleet pour?) I’m thinking these beautiful leaves are going to be wet and muck on the ground before a chance to get out and take more photos. So there is a certain amount of “good-bye fall” going on here.
So, what is the name of the season before the snow stays, but after the leaves are gone, when the beauty will arise out of a certain starkness rather than the radiant color?
My heart is full of thankfulness and honor for what the Lord has provided during these busy and turbulent times at home, around the office and in the world in general.

Beautiful scene! I would call the time past the leaves falling and the snow, late fall or early winter 🙂 I too am saying good bye to fall. Although I can still find plenty color, it is well past it’s peak and many trees are already bare.
Lovely. We are entering that in-between phase, too. Some of the leaves have yet to turn, but with the advent of the fall rainy season, they may be beat off the trees before they can don their autumn coats.
Beautiful shot! The leaves here took a beating today with a huge windstorm that lasted pretty much all day. Some trees are still refusing to give theirs away, but some are now bare.
