“Bonus weather”

It might actually be late October and seriously into Autumn / Fall, but with high temperatures above 70 or even 80 these last few days, we’re enjoying every day!

I took some photos recently, to give a flavour of our weather at the moment. First – how about these Fall colors (trees on my route to work):

At home, most trees have lost their leaves so are less pretty than on the way to work …


But with the warm weather, the fish are still keen and happy to eat:

 

However, cooler weather is coming (predicted high only about 50 on Thursday), so soon our “bonus weather” will be gone.
