"Bird's Eye View"

Postcard from Merion

This is a view from my second-floor window, looking at my neighbor's front yard in the morning.

Soon all these trees will be bare, but for now it is a glory of warm colors.

This spectacular display comes just before we are confronted by all the whites and blues of winter in the snow, and the grays and beiges of winter without snow. Better get out there and store up all this warmth while we still can.
