Fleeting fall

Remember those gorgeous red leaves I showed you the other day? Well, compare this

to this!

Impressive, eh? In a matter of five days, the vibrant, beautiful leaves were reduced to crispy, colorless leftovers. The tree-stripping was assisted by a particularly blustery Thursday. As I drove to work, leaves whirled all around my car. I wanted to take a movie of it, actually...but I didn't, alas.
