North Texas Fall

North Texas foliage has erupted into stunning colors this fall. Everywhere leaves are turning into golden hues or rusty reds. Each day brings a fresh patchwork; new tones blush with less and more magnificent autumn color shouting out “look at me, look at me!”. Some say late rains and an early freeze are responsible for this year’s lavish display. I say it happened just as Mother Nature wished. Soon harsh artic winds will strip the trees of their autumn adornments and they will sleep naked through the winter until the earth once again nods toward our sun, signaling the beginning of the next grand awakening. I was born in the fall. If I'm lucky I will leave then as well.
