More beautiful foliage! I don’t look for it. I don’t have to. You’ve heard that old saying “spring is busting out all over”? So are the autumn colors. Today I went to Brown Park, which is a city park in one of the “suburbs” of Louisville, Saint Matthews. It’s a gorgeous little park, near one of the hospitals. You’d never know that, though, unless you heard the sirens. In the park you’ll find the family cemetery of James Graham Brown, the man who built the Brown Hotel (where the “hot brown” open-faced sandwich was invented). He is buried at Cave Hill, but many family members are interred in the cemetery in the back of the park. I’ve been there a couple of times, but today the focus was the trees. Oooh, those trees. I was able to get a close-up of the crimson leaves that normally look brown because they’re such a deep color. I also saw one of the darker red trees showing off quite well (the two right-hand photos). On the left there’s a shot of Beargrass Creek with the beauty behind it, as well as a budding bush I saw while walking. I don’t know what it is (I couldn’t have a green thumb if you gave me a bucket of paint! ), but I do know it was stunning, with green, pink, and purple adorning the plant. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow. Depending on if and when it does I may not get to take my walk among the foliage. I’m enjoying every moment that I get to be out there, though, I assure you! Hope you’re enjoying it, too. All photos taken at Brown Park, Saint Matthews, Kentucky.
