There’s no more denying it: Fall is here. I’ve been dreading
the end of summer since mid-September, but the truth is, we’ve had one
of the most unbelievably spectacular late-summer-through-early-autumns in years
– temperatures in the 70s, sunshine and clear blue skies daily, and a nearly-record-breaking
run of rainless days. Who could complain (although we soon will)?
On the last beautiful day before the clouds-threatening-rain
came in, I stopped by at Green Lake late in the afternoon to sketch this stand
of maples wearing every variation of green, yellow, orange, red and mauve,
trying to catch the sun slanting low on the very tops of the tallest trees.
It's well and truly over. It was raining when I first looked outside today at 0630. The maples are gorgeous, though. Nice sketch with the colorful trees contrasting with the gray sky.
