I may need a winter jacket this year


This is global warming? If so, I may need to get a winter jacket this year. (This is a screenshot of Weather.com's ten day forecast for Oxford, taken this morning around 8am). Pay particular attention to the forecast for Nov. 20th.

a few foliage pictures






I went out today before the Alabama vs. LSU game (ROLL TIDE!, btw) and snapped some pictures around Oxford of the foliage. It was breezy and cool, great Fall weather if you ask me. I wanted to get these pictures because I fully expect most (if not all) of the foliage to bee off the trees in the next few days (certainly by the next time I get a decent chance to snap some pictures of the foliage.

The first three are taken on the grounds of College Hill Presbyterian Church (PCA) just north of town in rural Lafayette County. Numbers 1 and 3 are attempts at artsy shots. I think they worked fairly well. Numbers 2 and 3 are of/around a ginkgo(?) tree. Number four is of a brilliantly yellow tree near The Grove on the Ole Miss campus. The third is of a squirrel eating the berries (buds?) off a crepe myrtle tree also near The Grove at Ole Miss. I have others (20ish?), but I think these are my favorites out of the lot.
