{Day9} 31 Days of Autumn in Ohio – Twisted Every Way

While sitting on a bench, I looked up and noticed these pin oak branches going this-a-way and that-a-way. Immediately I thought of the song from Andrew Lloyd Weber’s musical The Phantom of the Opera – Twisted Every Way.

It also reminds me of the talking trees Dorothy and the Scarecrow encountered in The Wizard of Oz.

By the way, Happy 40th Birthday to The Phantom of the Opera which premiered in London’s West End 40 years ago tonight.

{Day 8} 31 Days of Autumn in Ohio – Lone Orange Tree

Here is the scene that greeted my eyes after arriving at a different park. In amongst the forest of mostly green, there stood a lone orange tree. Next week however, it will blend in with the other trees. In the meantime, it shines for all visitors to see.
