Best Fall Colors in Years

I'm just amazed at how beautiful the colors are here this year. I really don't know what caused it but this year is special. Looking our of our window at the hills we see golden trees everywhere. This photo is of our garden with the dwarf maple and the larger one still in full color. I really love the fall even though it means winter is coming with its darkness and lack of color. But this makes it all worthwhile. Look at the large version of this for more detail.

Thanks to all who wished me well yesterday. I am feeling much much better and even plan to go out to a guitar concert tonight. Your good wishes definitely helped me heal fast.
