We’re having a beautiful Fall here in Seattle. Through some mysterious set of climate circumstances, we’re having much more vibrant Fall color than usual. We had a few days of sunshine and blue skies and then some gray and stormy days, each one setting off the colors in different ways. And the colors change from one day to the next it seems. This Japanese Maple in my garden went from deep red to brilliant yellow/orange over just a few days. And we’re only one blustery storm away from them all being on the ground.
I agree. I was admiring some golden trees against a grey sky as I was out today.
A most lovely autumn–yesterday I finally gave in and said, “it really does make up for a questionable summer.” Stunning!
