A Birthday Drive and a Sunset Walk

I'm so glad I was born in October. And I'm even more glad that I moved to Wisconsin, where every year Nature throws me the best party ever.

Here's how she decorated for my birthday last week. Sunlight filtered through maple leaves:

Billows of green and gold, with waves of red sumac below:

Silvery glimpses of Lake Wisconsin from a windy hilltop:

Deep rustling leaves:

Gloriously-coloured bends in the road:

Byways carpeted and roofed with gold:

Standing corn and autumn-tinted trees under blue-grey skies:

Rolling emerald carpets:

And breathtaking bluffs:

To top it all off, she put on a smashing sunset:

Look at the lights twinkling out from amongst the trees:

It was a glorious day.
