As we were merrily working away in the Lederle Lowrise this morning, the fire alarm sounded, and let me tell you, that thing is LOUD. As we have been trained to do, we immediately evacuated the building.
It was drizzling lightly, so most of us waited under the passageway connecting the two buildings of the Graduate Research Center. We watched a couple of Amherst town fire engines come roaring in, along with a University police car, so we knew it was not just a drill. But after a few minutes, I grew bored with waiting, and fortunately discovered that I had my camera in the backpack I’d grabbed as I hustled out of my office. Although the day was gray and overcast, I decided to take some photos of the autumn colors. Here are some of the trees I admired, all within a few hundred yards of where I work.

You certainly do have beautiful trees. I actually saw this post before (I’ve been checking up on you too!) but I did not comment because there are no other comments. However, I have gathered the courage to come out into the open. 🙂 Do the trees still have leaves now though? Here it’s a bit depressing because they’re mostly bare…
No, most of the deciduous trees have lost all their leaves by now. If you’re used to the tropics, it’s a different look to the landscape.
