It was a beautiful weekend, I know it rained the whole weekend, but I really loved it. On Saturday I was out running errands in the rain when on a whim I took a drive up Provo Canyon. The rain barely stopped as I entered the canyon...it was beautiful. I'm still kicking myself for not having a camera. The fall colors are so much more vivid when it has rained and everything is wet, the earth and tree bark turn dark almost black and the leaves almost look florescent against them. Low clouds dotted the back side of Timp where the hills are covered with deep reds and golds. I drove up above Sundance before turning back and met a herd of wild turkeys. It was a beautiful drive. A bit later in the day I stopped on Center Street in Provo and took a few shots of an apple tree...

Good grief, I miss living somewhere that has different seasons. I miss fall!

I love working on Center Street and having a window! I'm hoping things stay pretty like this for a while. Love your pics, as always.

I'm surprised to learn there is an apple tree on Center Street. At first I thought I was looking at a green cherry. Isn't it amazing how one tree can show off with pure yellow and pure green leaves at the same time? Glad you got to drive up Provo Canyon and see the autumn colors. We did the same on Friday up Farmington Canyon...I'll post some photos soon. Rain does refresh and clouds cancel the sun's bleaching glare, but I'm sad the dry-crisp, sun-warm days are slipping away. There was two inches of snow on the ground in SLC this morning when I came to work.
