It is a little late to be talking about this since it is January and winter, but I just LOVE the fall. I think it is such a beautiful time of year with all of the red, orange and yellow hues. It is a little sad to think that this is just a step in the process leading to the leaves falling off the trees, but definitely worth it. I do miss the evergreens of Oregon though. As I look at the baron trees in Virginia I realize I took for granted the constant "green" of Oregon. Who would of thought that trees actually lose their leaves?? Well, I did see this in Portland. The trees that changed with the season there were beautiful but you had a sense that they were not where they belonged. Taken from their natural location and brought to this new home to brighten it up a bit.
I think that Fall is becoming one of my favorite times of year, mostly due to the colors. I love the weather as well, since it gives a little break from the humidity. When Will and I were driving across the states to move here, one of the first things I asked him about Virginia was whether or not there would be trees. At first I was a little disappointed since we moved here in February and there were no leaves, but once the season changed it definitely was pretty and then Fall came and I fell in love with it quite a bit more. :) Even though Oregon will always be my first love!
**NOTE*** I do realize that trees do lose their leaves in Oregon, but there are so many evergreens that you do not really notice. Plus, compared to Virginia, visually the difference is very obvious. Virginia has evergreens as well, but to scale, it just does not compare. Thanks dad!! :)
