The Rise of Fall

I really love this picture. I took it a few miles North of Lincoln on a nice early fall day. I say early because there is still plenty of green around. But, the color is there. We are there right now...the rise of fall.

Yesterday it was still and 92. Today it is windy and 61. Who knows about tomorrow. It's like a teenager discovering some things beyound skate boards.

And for adults, it is pure eye candy. The older I get, the more I notice. Plus, I have left the driving to the city of Lincoln and sit in the back of the #7 Belmont bus as it winds its way through the suburbs to my little napping rug. Each day I can see a street go from green to yellow to red to gold. Each day you can see kids go from shorts and t-shirts to heasvier jackets and stocking caps. College students are the hold outs. They are still in flip-flops and probably will be until the snow gets pretty deep.

Fall used to mean football to me but I have weaned my way off of that. I haven't watched a game and even though I like to see the Huskers win, it's not a big thing if they don't. I would just as soon spend a fall afternoon on my bike riding through Nebraska City. Maybe a piece of apple pie and ice cream along the way.

And take pictures. Like this one....a picture that caught the rise of fall.
