More Fall in Bawlmer



     This is Uncle Jack's first fall in Charm City and it has been a revelation.  For the first time in 40 years he doesn't have to drive out to the countryside to take in the splendor of Mother Nature's annual leaf-turning extravaganza.  All he has to do is go for a walk in the neighborhood which is what he and Mrs. U.J. did again this morning. The pictures below provide a small sample of what they saw but naturally they can't do justice to the actual scene.  For that you have to get in the car and drive to Baltimore.
     He confesses to being somewhat lackadaisical about posting new entries to his blog lately.  With so much going on in the culture department he has difficulty finding time to sit down and do his duty to his faithful readers who look for something new every day but seldom find it.  He has discovered that there is a mechanism built into the blogging apparatus that makes it possible for him to notify readers when a new entry has been posted.  If you would like to be added to the "notify" list he suggests that you use the "comment" button at the end of this blog entry.  Just put your email address in the space allotted for a comment and he will add you to the list. (Your email address will be visible only to him and he promises not to sell it to anybody). It could save some wear and tear on your mouse and he will feel less guilty about the infrequency of his postings. Thanks.

   This ancient tree in Roland Park is almost leafless now making it possible to see the amazing array of   branches.  In person it is spectacular.


                                                  Typical street in Roland Park


                    A sidewalk carpet of fallen leaves.  Jackson Pollock would be envious.


    A typical house in Roland Park except that it is one of the few not hidden by trees
