There was some time to spare before it would get dark and the trick-or-treaters would be coming out in droves and so I went around taking pictures of the neighborhood. This is a few streets over from where we live so you can kinda get a feeling of what it's like. 
Even though at the particular house we were at there weren't many trees, most houses have huge trees out front and I love driving down tree-lined streets. You just don't get that in Arizona. 
It's a lot colder here than it is for the rest of my family and there are actually signs that it's fall here!
I love how pretty some of the colors are.

I love how pretty some of the colors are.I sat outside for quite awhile playing with the Iphone and we got a total of four trick-or-treaters. Yep. FOUR. That's it. I was really hoping to get rid of more of the candy but to no avail. We had three kids come dressed as Thing One, Two and Three and then another little boy came much later. I could hear many of the kids who were so excited to be dressed up coming outside and then the family would load into their vehicle and take off. How disappointing! We even had one vehicle pull up to us and then decide our load wasn't worth the effort and drive away. Drive-By Trick-or-Treating?!? What has this world come to? And now I'll just have to eat all the candy myself.

There were lots of cars in our neighborhood as we did a quick trick or treat before heading out for a party. I don't get it either.
That neighborhood could easily have been my parents'except for the lack of sidewalks. Growing up the trees weren't huge and now many years later all the trees on the block have gotten huge. I miss that too. Oh and the green lawns most houses sport in the front yard. You are right there is nothing like that here. Sigh....
We also barely get any Trick or Treaters. I love the leaves pictures!! It is still freaking hot here 92 yesterday!
(BTW if you moderate all your comments, it makes it less necessary to have people do the word verification. And I want to post on several of your posts today and it is slowing me down. And the real reason I think you should get rid of it is because I always have to do them a couple of times each because apparently, I can't read;)
Pollyanna, I have to do them repeatedly-due to user error, as well!
Happy Halloween! Love the fall colors and the trees! I can feel the warmth inside me, just by looking at your pictures (since I obviously can't look outside my own area to see it!!). I hate how few trick or treaters there are. Honestly one reason Chris chose the house he did, was hoping there were more trick or treaters (that was the final reason between 2 homes)! He puts up an inflatable haunted house, dresses up scary, has strobe lights, scary music, fog, etc. Last year we got about 100 trick or treaters and he was disappointed. This year we got quite a few more, so that was a lot nicer! 100 should be enough (especially since our last house got...ZERO!!!), but it's frustrating because one street over (no exaggeration) gets LOADS of children!! They just don't want to come down the last street (and honestly there are only us and about 2 other houses that even give out candy on our street!). My children's chocolate is all gone! Yup, gone! What a pity....no, they didn't eat it...I did...and my thighs are not happy with me!! They'll make be pay soon...with about 2 inches each! =)
