Although it doesn’t feel like November, one glance at Joslyn Art Museum’s gardens leaves no question that fall is most definitely here.
At this point in time I could wander off into the biology of deciduous trees, why they shed their leaves, and what happens to the chlorophyll and starches in the leaves that makes them change colors…
I could do that. I could also ramble about over-used trees, biodiversity, and the value of native plants…
Or, I could just let the pictures speak for themselves, and we can savor a quiet look at the beauty of autumn as seen at 2200 Dodge Street.
Enjoy.
