Post-Peak Fall

I got all excited about the prospects this morning.  It's supposed to storm this evening.  "Red sky at morning, sailor take warning."  There was a good chance this morning's sunrise would be a good one, right?  (It's as good a predictor as anything else I know of.)  Alas, it was not to be.

But I did notice the leaves looked great.  But of course.  I'd left town for a couple of days so they were hitting their peak while I wasn't here.  Anyway, I was so excited when I saw this composition that I failed to notice the post.  Don't worry about it.  Ninety five percent of the people looking at this picture will never see it anyway.
