The wildly beautiful autumn leaves, one last flamboyant gesture by Mother Nature before the deep, still quiet of winter sets in.
The sharp bite of the first frost, drawing complex figures on windowpanes and edging leaves of outdoor plants with an otherworldly silvery sheen.
Orange, yellow, burgundy, and brown taking over green and blue as the dominant colors of the great outdoors.
The poignant knowledge that so much must die or go dormant during the winter in order for spring’s extravagant multicolored exuberance to burst forth again after winter’s ice, snow, and gray, bleak, short days.
