Undeniably Fall

I happened to have my camera with me as I drove home today. 

This photo was taken just down the street from my house at 3:30.  

The colors were vibrant and rich. 

I don't think additional words are necessary, this photo speaks for itself.
And it screams, Autumn has arrived!
 

The next photo, however, may need some explanation.
 

I looked out the window this evening and saw this view.  Has the rain turned to snow?  No, it's just fog.  But if there weren't so many leaves on the tree it would certainly look more like winter than it should...  I want to have a little more time to enjoy orange and yellow before we return to shades of gray.
