Music and leaves

We had a lovely night last night. We went to hear the Chattanooga Symphony. The theme of the concert was "Legends", and the music was late-19th - early-20th Century. Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg; Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks by Ricard Strauss; and Firebird Suite (1919 Version) by Igor Stravinsky. Till Eulenspiegel is one of my all-time favorites - and this was the first time I've heard a live performance. What a treat!

It was much more seasonable today, temperature-wise. But after yesterday's all-day rain, today was windy and sunny. The leaves are definitely falling. Here's a fall abstract that John took a couple of weeks ago.
