Generally when I finally decide to stop being lazy and go out to observe the trees it's around 4:30 in the afternoon. However because of an activity that caused a disruption of my observation schedule, I had to do it later that night. What I saw when I went out was stupendous, it was miraculous! I saw a full moon, and clouds that were lightly blanketing it, almost as if the clouds were shielding the beauty of the moon that night. I tried to take a picture of the unique beauty that was in front of me, but no matter how many times I tried with the flash on, or off I just couldn't get the picture that I wanted! I guess some things just aren't meant to be captured and put on display.
Because I never actually even looked at the trees during the night I went back the following morning to see what I missed. Since I've been really slacking off on my job of daily observations, there was a noticeable difference in the way the trees looked, compared to how they looked the last time I saw them. Most of the little trees were completely without any leaves, and a good portion of the road was covered with orange yellow and brown leaves. I'm not quite sure when the next storm is going to come, but I hope it comes soon. I really want to be able to ski in the road next to the trees, like I did a few years ago.
