My camera was in my pocket and it was a lovely autumn day. Thinking this might be my last chance to photograph some wondrous fall color, I turned onto Converse Road:

Like leaves on fire:

Muted yellows, greens and golds:

A colorful tunnel of trees, beckoning the traveler to explore just a little farther, just a little bit farther. And so I did, which means there will be a Part 2, posted tomorrow:
