Merry Christmas from Utah
We spend Christmas in Utah most years. We weren’t here last year, but we are this year. It has been foggy every day so I won’t have many pictures from Utah this time.

Confused seasons
Winter is supposed to come after Fall, but the snow gods and my Japanese Maple didn’t get the memo this year. We normally only get a snow or two that sticks per winter. Usually that doesn’t happen until January or February at the earliest. Last week we received several inches of the white stuff. As soon as the snow finished falling, the maple decided it was time to drop all of its red and mostly orange leaves creating this scene, one we haven’t witnessed before.
Japanese Maple
A rare glimpse of the sun yesterday allowed this photo. It may look like an HDR, but it is not. The light was just right, and our Japanese maple is just a few days away from giving up its leaves for the winter (which feels like it is already here).
View from Ashland Loop Road
Long before the Ashland Loop Road becomes deserted and looks like this, you can look back over your right shoulder for this view, one of your last glimpses of civilization.
View from the position of a fallen leaf
I was sitting in the grass in Lithia Park the other day, enjoying rather warm temperatures for November. Instead of pulling the camera up to see what I was taking a picture of, I just took it from the position of the leaves I was sitting in.

A closeup taken soon after yesterday’s photo… I didn’t realize squirrels ate maple leaves.
Poor camouflage
My Japanese Maple tree has changed colors causing its usual occupant to stick out a bit more than normal.
Quitters
These trees in Lithia Park have quit their chlorophyll production for the year. They’ll try again next year.
SOU in fall
There is nothing like walking around campus early on a crisp, autumn morning.
Lithia Park in Fall
The weather has been really great the past week. I took today’s photo several days ago. When I rode my bike through Lithia Park yesterday, the fall colors were more spectacular, but I didn’t have my camera with me. The foliage changes so much every day. I love this time of year.
