Autumn, Colorado-style / Take Three

We turned off the irrigation system in our yard and within two days:

Ah! Red.

You can still see some of the mucky yucky brown leaves, but there's a fair amount of red.

I've also decided, in the process of driving around the greater Denver region, that there are a lot of yellow trees in older neighborhoods, but many more red trees in newer neighborhoods. So maybe I'm not the only one missing New England.

I can also see the red leaves through the window as I walk down the stairs:

Doesn't everyone have dead, dried plants sitting in their windows? How could I throw it away? It's so cool looking, even if it's brown.

Ah, very nice.
