A very happy birthday to the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lovethosehobbit! Come on for a walk around Greenbelt Lake . . .
This is how it looked a month ago when the trees were just beginning to put on their autumn finery. We had a brief autumn this year, cut short by the drought that browned out most leaves early, and ended abruptly by Hurricane Sandy and its tryst with the cold front that plunged us into an early winter. Normally, the leaves would be past peak right now, but there would still be many trees doing their own dances of bright color to prolong the loveliness past mid November, but the trees are uncharacteristically mostly bare now. Still, we had a lot of sunshine in October that made the few trees doing their dances of color shine with a subtler beauty, especially in the late afternoon light. So we'll continue around part of the lake below.
I hope you enjoyed the walk!
More pics of October walks around the lake will follow in future posts, especially forladysnaps, who requested autumn pics.

I never heard that about sunlight touching tree trunks during the last hour of daylight means the door between the worlds is open. Is that an old wives tale or something? Very evocative!

The idea that the door to faery is open at twilight time is an old folk and poetic conceit, but I don't remember reading anyone else who wrote of the light on tree trunks as a signal of the opening, so I guess that part is my own image. I'm glad you liked it. (-:
Thank you for stopping by! :-D
