SkyWatch Friday: It's beginning to look a lot like Autumn

I decided to take some photographs Wednesday of the fall leaves on the trees around my house and pick one for SkyWatch. The blue sky was such a good backdrop for the drama of the leaves.

Try as I might I couldn't pick just one. The first photograph is of the dogwood tree at peak and close to being past it with some leaves already fallen. The next one is the maple tree not quite peaking except for the leaves at the very tip.

I think I'll call the last shot anticipation as my big oaks are giving me a teaser of color but have a way to go. I'm reminded of Goldy Locks and the three bears - one too hot, one too cold, and one just right. Although to me all stages of fall foliage are just right be they beginning or ending.
