Living in a city with “Tree City USA” status, we have come to expect explosive color in the autumn.  This year it has been harder to find, as it would appear that our dry summer and prolonged warm may be curtailing the process a bit.  Yet, there is some to be found where I park the Ol’ Reliable Pathfinder.

A couple of readers, as it turns out, misinterpreted the last post in which I was meaning to indicate that the arborist gave us a negative health report on one of the birch trees — not me.  The thing’s upper trunk is becoming hollow and has a life expectancy of only a very few years, if that.

My own health, by the way, has never seldom been better.
