(The look of Fall and Churchill Downs / All Photos by Holly M. Smith)

Editor’s Note:

The weather is supposed to be getting a bit cooler?

Supposed to be.

The days are supposed to be getting a tad shorter.

Guess, that’s true.

The races are supposed to be getting a bit longer and tougher.

In Kentucky, that’s definitely the case.

And, Holly M. Smith is supposed to be at Churchill Downs. With cameras in hand. And, eyes focused on horses, people and the changing colors of the leaf. Capturing the scene with brushes of brilliance.

And, on Saturday, everything was right with the world.

Here’s Holly’s looks.

They are worth looking at.

As always.
