Fall in my "neck of the woods"

The last few days the leaves in my part of the world have come into peak. Since most of my daylight hours are spent in the city, in an office building, in a cubicle, I kept forgetting to grab my camera and get some shots on my drive home. Today, still no camera, but I decided to grab a shot with my cell phone at my favorite overlook on my commute. It was a cloudy day today, but you can still see the deep, burnished colors of our North Texas Fall. So lovely!

And below is our front yard Sweet Gum and Fire bush. While I was taking these pics in the front yard, I was listening to the wind blow and pecans from our neighbors pecan tree fall to the ground. I love the sweet sounds of Fall.
