autumn morning

I woke up this morning and it was just right outside. It's the best of fall: moist, earthy, and misty.





I went into the living room because sometime in the early morning, Kboy had wandered in and layed down on the couch, wrapped himself in the couch blanket and fell back asleep. He's done that a few times lately. It's cute.





This picture below is on the N.E. facing window, looking through the walnut branches and then the cottonwood branches by the creek. Beyond them, you can see the mist settled above the Wenatchee Valley.





The rest (except for the last) are pictures of our wild cherry tree outside the E. facing living room window.









You can see the green of the willow trees as a backdrop here - they really haven't turned nor fallen yet.
