There have been several weeks of cold, frigid weather and then just like magic we had a beautiful, sunny day and it was 60 degrees. So I did what this squirrel did. I seized the day. Carpe diem!
But instead of eating and collecting acorns for the winter, I collected the beautiful colors of autumn in photos taken at the park, stored them away for a couple of weeks and brought them out today for 
You know about holly bushes but did you know that there are holly trees like this one? Some can grow to be 50 feet high and this one was every bit of that.
People can't eat these berries but the birds love them.
Looking through the weeping willow tree branches, there was a hint of color across the pond.
Look at this swan checking me out.
It must stay warm down there.
I think this is the American Sycamore tree. Isn't that trunk a beauty?
I loved how this tree was reaching out and hanging over the water.
A beautiful mix of autumn colors in these leaves.
I bid the park adieu until next spring.
The parking lot looked more like winter.
The leaves were gone except for the ones that were used to help make this large birds nest.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay warm!
All photos are my own.
