My husband and I got out for a walk at dusk, and ended up going for a much longer walk than either of us had planned. But it was lovely. It was nearly dark by the time we got home, and we still hadn’t started dinner. That is not uncommon this time of year. We always want to grab those last bits of sunlight on these days that are becoming noticeably shorter by the day.

We walked through neighborhoods, then through a portion of our favorite park, then through the grounds of the grade school our kids attended, which seems so long ago now. What memories!

The colors are just turning. It will be a few weeks yet before they are at their peak.

Isn’t it funny how some of the maples turn colors on one side first?

It’s fun to see the Halloween decorations coming out. It seems like they get better every year!

The last few pictures are from the park. I’m not sure I captured its serenity or beauty, but it it is a truly lovely place, in all seasons.
