Grabbing Some Gorgeousness

Oh Lordy, it has rained for the last 2 days bringing out the fantastic colors of Fall.  With me leaving early Tuesday I am down to the wire for grabbing the gorgeousness of this time of year.  Palm Springs & Phoenix will definitely not have this kind of color, altho there will be other ogle-worthy sights there as well.

It was raining, and then the sun decided to peek thru and that's when I decided I am going for a drive to grab those colors.  However, the sky did look a little ominous as I looked out the back door.....

But I decided to keep my fingers crossed and go.  After all I was driving, so if there was a down-pour I would be safely tucked inside my car.

This is someone's front yard....whoever landscaped this sure had the forethought to think about Fall color.

By the time I drove into the Arboretum, the clouds had really began to gather and I could hear the constant rumble of thunder....yikes!!

I didn't drive too far before I saw & heard the Security Car from the Arboretum warning everyone to head back to safety.....

This couple was headed into the woods, down a trail, sure hope they didn't get too soaked, because right after this, it started pouring and poured all the way home.

I still have one more day...altho I think tomorrow is going to be quite busy with packing & taking my Toby to my dog-sitter...my wonderful daughter, Lisa (just in case she is reading this!! hee hee!)
