Autumn Reds and Golds

Down the branch, a neighbor's sourwood tree is in full glory. Pale sourwood honey is thought by many to be the best honey of all

A sunny day-- golds dazzle the eye as light breezes make the trees shimmer and sparkle.

Just like in San Francisco, I'm always looking up. The buildings are a little different though ...

  For red and gold, just look at this confused forsythia --  bright yellow spring blossoms and deep red autumn leaves!

Catch the sun behind the leaves and you have Nature's stained glass.
