The Last of the Leaves

This past weekend really felt like our last Fall weekend, at least in St. Petersburg. 




The leaves were still pretty, but just past their peak and quickly falling to the ground


 


The temperatures were warm enough to comfortably walk around, as long as we escaped both days for a coffee (our normal order - "два кафе американи, пожалуйста").



 
But even on a beautiful Fall day, it's clear that the tourists are gone!  We'll see them again in April 
 

 

 
 
I miss the Fall colors of the Northeast US.  NOTHING compares!  But Russia's trees are not too bad (and much better than Memphis)
