Am I yet too early?
It's been years since I remember being wowed by the season of exuberant and lively splashes of red, orange, yellow, green, and brown.
Living in Ohio, I could never find that elusive 'peak'. I rationalized that my mistake was my inability to figure out the timing because I was unfamiliar with this part of the country. But I'm now in Iowa wondering why everything changes from green to brown, sans any inspiring color. The sidewalks are full of dry leaves. I found a couple of examples of the condition of these sidewalk leaves, but when seeking treetops, the only words coming to mind say, "Nothing to see here, folks."
But the other day, I found one! I stopped in my tracks and took a photo because - I had to!
