Welcome to Morning Open Thread, a daily post with a MOTley crew of hosts who chose the topic for the day's posting. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
The diarist gets to sleep in if she wants to, and she can show up long after the post published. That is a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule.

From the film maker, Julian Tryba:
New England is known for its spectacular display of colors during the foliage season. Each fall, billions of leaves change from green into a kaleidoscope of colors. With the help of a drone, I was able to film this breathtaking phenomenon. I flew for hundreds of miles and accumulated over 24 hours of flight time this fall. Whether it was flying through clouds at sunrise or soaring above treetops at sunset, I loved every minute of it.
I recommend viewing on full screen! To get to the full screen view, click on the paper airplane icon (you might need to hover over the video to see the plane), then on hxxps://vimeo.com/xxxxxxxx, and then on the full screen icon in the lower left corner of the video.
