This morning I was drawn out the door by this scene above that I can see from my kitchen window.  Scrabble is now to the point that only very short and very slow walks will do.  However, slow walking is difficult for me unless I have something to do.  Taking my camera on this little walk was just the perfect thing.

I loved taking a good look at my neighbor's Halloween decorations.  Most of which I hadn't really seen as I walked briskly by.

I loved seeing the local Little Free Library with an autumn backdrop.

Back at home, I noticed the last stragglers in the flowerbed.

Also, the beautiful little Japanese maples are turning red. I didn't know they'd do that!  Here they're backed by the yellowing hostas.Lastly, there's a hint of things to come.
