Fall - gone already!

Well - seems like Fall's spectacular colors have come and gone too quickly. This is about all that is left of the beautiful leaves on the trees. This picture is our creek that runs along the back of our yard. I am already looking forward to Spring, when the birds will return and I can go sit on the brick wall and "bird watch". It's so sad to see all the leaves gone and Winter setting in. Usually this time of year I do look forward to the first big snow fall. For some reason - I am not looking forward to it this year. I am however looking forward to going home for Thanksgiving! :)
