Still 16 days Left of Autumn!

Okay, for most of us looking outside this weekend, it doesn't look much like fall any more. Winter has arrived, at least for the moment,with enough fierce intensity that we have every reason to believe it just might stay. I had taken these photos over a couple of occasions a few weeks ago. Now seems like a good time to bring them out, as they almost look tropical by comparison to what's outside my window!
