This picture was taken Friday, November 16th, after I took my 10-year old to school.

It was the day the maple leaves were falling in and, as you can see from these pictures, on Crystal Lake.

The most beautiful I could find were on and in front of Dr. Don Brandeau’s lakefront home at Gate 3 in Lakewood.

I took the top one from the edge of his yard, right by Crystal Lake.

There was a swath of yellow on the lake, as you can see below.

I took so many photographs, it is difficult to select which other one to post.

You may remember that despite my red-green colorblindness, I can see yellow.

It is so vivid!
