As fall is coming to a close and winter huffs and puffs in the wings, the startling colors of a handful of trees have really caught my attention. As I look down the street, all the trees are doing what they've got to do -- change color and shed leaves. But some of the trees do it with flair. At the end of the day (er, season), all the leaves end up in the same pile, but gosh what a treat to witness such vivacity. That tree is on fire. It is belting out its last aria with every ounce of strength it's got. Not everyone is "good" at flair, and I don't know, could every tree be so amazing? Would it be amazing if every tree looked like that before it dropped its leaves? I actually think it would.
