Better luck next year

Every year I intend to take some stunning pictures when the leaves are at their most dazzling. I hardly ever manage it. Somehow it always works out that the days that the sun is brilliant and the colors are just perfect are the days that I'm running around and haven't a minute to spare and even if I tried to steal a minute or two it wouldn't matter because I forgot my camera at home. The days that I have time (and my camera) end up being the dark and drizzly days. This year was no different. This is one of the few pictures that I took outside this autumn.
