I wasn’t quite so on top of it as to actually post photos corresponding to Poppy Talk’s schedule for Fall Colors Week.  Rather I just took photos whenever I could and only tagged them in Instagram if they actually matched the schedule — so as not to ruin the effect when scrolling through all the images everyone’s posted.   Na ja, sometimes that’s just  the way life goes, right?  (I’m more than a little preoccupied with preparations for the half marathon on Sunday and a mid-November deadline for submission of my dissertation.)

P.S. Today is a public holiday celebrating the reunification of Germany in 1990.  So to all my German readers, happy Tag der Deutschen Einheit!
