falling

fall is here and the ginkos have finally turned yellow practically overnight.  so our street stinks.

in my office, i have a beautiful view of the neighborhood where i live.  the old trees that tower above the houses only allowing views of rooftops in the winter.  the sun was hitting the trees just right offering a clear and clean fill light making all the oranges and reds blend and twinkle like a painting that an impressionist painted a hundred years ago.

it was mesmerizing and made me excited for when the leaves would finally fall, in anticipation of the coming spring when all is green and bright again.  the spring, when i can go outside and feel the warm sun on my cheeks and not have a twinge of cold tickle my nose and chill my toes.  weather can be so enchanting.
