| Majestic Autumn Show at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, Richmond, VA |
Fall wears a fiery coat that
has wowed me this season. Splashes of crimson, tinged gold, burnt orange, and Sugar
Maple yellow adorn the trees and landscape. Colors dance in the wind from
points in New England to the villages and hills along the east coast. Autumn shows off its vivid hues in towns and cities across the U.S. as far north as border towns in Washington State. It is evident along the west coast, even traveling to select spots in southern CA like Julian, with an altitude of 4000 ft. Leaves
blow and pumpkins, apples, and pears are harvested. The evening chill invites
many to sit by their crackling fire with a cup of hot apple cider. Yet the
heaps of crumpled, drying, brown leaves stir something else in me.
