Early November in CT

It's like a blogging extravaganza! Actually I'm cleaning my hard drive, and I have time to kill while DVDs burn. Enjoy it while it lasts.
This is the japanese maple in the front yard. The canopy is at eye level from our living room, so it was a great view. Then one day we got up and all the leaves were on the ground.

Now the leaves are covered with a few inches of snow and sealed with ice. >.<
