savoring autumn colors

 
This morning as I walked down my side porch toward the car, I paused at the brilliance of the fall leaves outside the porch. 

 
Many times this morning I passed through the side porch and then it hit me.  Get out there and take a photograph. 

 
So that's just what I did, and it felt right. 

 
Shot after shot.  I couldn't seem to get enough of the brilliant leaves.

 
I am savoring autumn colors because I know in a week or so there will be nothing on those trees but bare branches. . .  until spring.
