Our old house was surrounded by sugar maples, which turn a blazing orange-red in October (it almost hurts your eyes!). Our current house is in a forest full of mainly poplars and white oaks interspersed with many white pines, so the autumn colours are more bright yellow and rust interspersed with the intense green of the pines. Makes for a nice contrast, but I do miss the shock of the sugar maple colouring that enveloped our old house every October. |

And the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful! It's kinda like one last hurrah before the cold, stillness of winter! |

Love the changing colors, the crisp air, the smell of firewood burning (and if you're in the southwest, the delicious aroma of chiles roasting!). As my commuter bus passed over the Potomac one morning this week, I looked back across the river at the city of Rosslyn, Virginia (which has a lovely skyline) and noticed the trees visible between Rosslyn and the Pentagon made me think of multi-colored heather. The colors of the leaves were definitely turning from green but were soft and subdued. Quite lovely. |
