Strikingly Red...

I love this time of year. The weather is so unpredictable. One day it's sunny and cool, the next rainy and warm. Today is extremely windy, and the changing leaves are letting go and whirling around me as I walk from my office to the car. There is one, strikingly red and lying on the pavement near my car. What's left of it's summer color still visible in the center, the leaf bursts to a vibrant red. Such beauty in such a small package.
