Wet and muted - enjoying the grayness

Here are three photographs taken today. It was wet, raining a little bit almost all the time, but despite the clouds it wasn't too dark. The leaves are falling fast from the trees now, and some trees are almost bare already, ready for winter.

This is a nice time for photography, my favorite time, even better than spring. (Although I may think differently after the winter.) The barren trees show interesting shapes and structures, and the light is often beautiful.
