Beautiful October walk

We've had gorgeous weather most of this month. Today I finally took out my camera and went for a walk in the sunshine. I cannot resist Manito Park when the leaves are in their autumn glory.

A view of the Japanese garden through the fence . . .



The crop of leaves is ripe for the picking (with my eyes.)



I found myself noticing striking patterns -- bark, shingles on a roof, mushrooms, pine needles, and more leaves.



Looking up and trying to decide how to frame the views -- what an embarrassment of riches.
