In a recent BYS comment Cotterperson told a story of someone weeping at the gates of heaven and when questioned as to why, gave the perfectly understandable explanation that it was Autumn in the Ozarks. Only a joke of course but one that I can certainly relate to and it prompted me to sort through my autumn pics and put some of them into a photo diary to share with anyone who has never seen the Ozark woods in the Fall. As a bonus, I'm not even going to force ya to struggle through a lengthy dialogue. My limited writing skills could never do justice to the scenery anyway and besides, the natural beauty speaks for itself. Just pictures this time, with apologies to anyone with a dial up connection.
