I took my trash out back to the alley to put it in my trash can and discovered that the color and ambience of that spot was really quite lovely. There is a sense of altered reality that occurs when one is underneath certain trees as their leaves change color in the fall. When standing underneath this tree’s branches, the air is diffused with a golden glow which is delightful. I went back out with my camera and took some shots from underneath the tree. Of course, one cannot  replicate the “aura” of this spot, but I like the pictures anyway. They are not artistic by any means, but that’s okay by me.
