October,
The leaves are burning red now. There is no chlorophyll left save for the emerald tones of the evergreens (good job so far, and may I add that the weather has been lovely). The needles of pine, juniper, and spruce trees cling to their thin brown branches and brilliant jade hues (I like the way the orange needles blanket the ground too though). Everywhere else looks like sunset has draped its chilly changeling shades across the trees. Gold, amber, and scarlet; dawn, autumn, and fire; transformation colors and transition of life (I count my years in the portraits of autumns across my life).
Lots of love,
My eyes (and the bugs in the leaves)
