222/365 Fallen leaves

Most of the beautiful fall leaves have fallen now, so I turned my gaze to the ground instead of overhead -- just to catch the last bit of their glory.

I have to say, although the idea of living somewhere where the yearly average temperature hovers around 75°F sounds lovely, I think I would miss the change of seasons. I've heard from people who've lived elsewhere, in more static environments, remark that the change of seasons helps you feel the passage of time.

I'd never make it in Alaska.

Camera: Canon 40D with 430EX Speedlite fill, 1/125s, f/4.5 at ISO 640 at about 6:00 p.m.
