There is still beauty
Yesterday I walked this path along the Cedar River in Renton, to get a final glimpse of the Gingko tree, which never disappoints.
Red leaves lined the trail and carpeted the ground,
with a few gingko leaves joining here and there.
It was a raw and gray day that ended with unexpected rainfall.
But there was still beauty.

You captured beautiful colors, Susanne! 😊❤️
Thank you. Despite the gray and overcast day, the colors on the trail were still beautiful.
You are welcome, and indeed they are!
You’re having a picture-perfect autumn.
Yes, truly! Thank you.
Beautiful photos as always…nature shows up without fail to brighten the darkest days…
Thanks so much, John. The Gingko shined bright on the trail despite the unexpected rain. Yes, a metaphor.
Beautiful indeed!
Thank you!
Beautiful photos. I love fall most of all. 🙂
Thank you! I love fall, too!
You’ve certainly got some beautiful fall colors going now.
Thanks, Graham, I love that different kinds of trees peak at different times so the color lasts a long time.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Oh such gorgeousness, Susanne! You caught the essence of autumn 🍂. Love the ginkgo tree. Ours will look like that some day.
Thanks so much, Terri! 😍 I love that gingko tree and try to remember to visit when it’s at peak color.
Gorgeous photos! I have to say that the Gingko tree is my favorite! It is so primitive and the leaves are perfect!
Thank you! Yes, I love the Gingko tree and try to go see it every year when it’s at peak color!
It’s important to be reminded, as your gingko tree does, that there is still beauty. We need it!
Yes! Exactly right! 😊
I love the ginkos around here. except for the female ones, oy, the smell. 🙂
they remind me that things go on, for millions and millions of years.
Yes, I love gingkos too, they are survivors!
You are lucky indeed to have such splendid colours. Our leaves in Beetley only started to turn on Monday, and they are also late falling this year.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. We have had colors for a month or more and no sign of letting up!
So pretty
