Change in the air

And what a telling title that is, but more on that later.

Fall hit Houston so suddenly that on Friday morning it was all over the yards and roads in the form of fat flat yellow leaves that were not even threatening to drop the day before. The reds and oranges are holding on - the tree outside my office window is showing off a full crown of red. While it's not quite (okay, nowhere near) what I experienced in Vermont several weeks ago, it is what we get here. They don't always arrive, the colors, but they're here now, and they slightly change, slightly punctuate the whole of this city. And me.

And then, there's this little change:

Omigod, Alison, that may be the most beautiful dog portrait I've ever seen. Granted, the "model" is gorgeous, but the photography is to die for.

And, backing up to the beginning of your post, I was thinking on the way home this evening that the trees have had a lot more color this year than usual. I'm glad you noticed it, too.

May you be roused by jingle bells at 4:30 every morning from now until Christmas.
