    It's a glorious day in Chicago. 56 degrees and sunny.

    I went for my AM walk today and was struck at how pretty my town can be....

      Looks like a nice area for fall!

      Kinda creepy, it being so empty, though. Is it usually that quiet?

      Please love yourself.

        Not creepy at all. It's a small town (pop 9K). It's quiet here.

              My almost full time job last week and for the foreseeable future is raking leaves.

              Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

                  Indeed. During summer, if it's >80 degrees, I stay home and not go for my walks. OTOH, in the fall and winter, if it's > 15 degrees, I'm out there.

                  I love the cold.

                            Great pic, George. Have you noticed whether the trees are more colorful this year? They definitely are brighter colors here, more than usual. It's been really lovely.

                                @George-K Maple tree. Gorgeous. We have one similar in our front yard. The leaves completed their fall just yesterday. It is 99% bare now.

                                      Oh, that bridge?

                                      Here's what it looked like 120 years ago:

                                      93489624_2897923170296619_1995691759933325312_o.jpg

                                      And here's Keanu on that bridge, about 16 years ago:

                                          Lovely autumn I miss it.

                                          Here in the middle east there is no autumn.

                                          Summer is hot. December to February wet and chilly. Between....meh
