Gorgeous day that started off on a wrong note with the unexpected demise of our coffeemaker (not to worry - we have a back-up thanks to friends Jerry and Barb, and a new pot was ordered from Amazon even before I'd finished my first cup from that one). By 9 a.m., we'd already exceeded the predicted temperature - so a walk clearly was in order. There's a particularly beautiful tree I pass on my regular route, and it's in full glory now so it will do for today's photo.
