I finished my evening walk, drove past the Red Barn, and out of Lenora Park to the park across the street. From there, I looked back across the street at the Red Barn and saw it silhouetted against the fiery sky.
This experience reminded me of a lesson Jay Maisel taught us in a class years ago: “Sometimes the best picture is behind you.”


On October 13, these trees were vibrant green in the early morning light. By November 7, less than a month later, they have transformed into a brilliant display of reds, marking the arrival of autumn.

Each fall, this stately maple slips into a blazing red coat, then gracefully undresses for its long winter sleep.
