fall colors

As you can see, I've changed the color scheme of my blog. It was a lot more screwing around than I bargained for, so I probably won't do it often, but I'll keep this theme through Thanksgiving.

Speaking of fall, now would be a good time to check out my Cascade Park in Autumn photos from 2002 and 2004. If the weather cooperates next weekend, maybe I'll take some more.

Incidentally, this is my favorite time of year. It's the one occasion when orange and brown make sense. I like the crisp, cool mornings, just as the sun is coming up; the slight breeze, requiring a jacket; the smell of a freshly raked pile of leaves; apple cider; candy corn; carving pumpkins... and come this weekend, my friends and I will be going to a corn maze, of all things.

Summer is hot and needs sunblock every second I'm outside; winter doesn't know when it has overstayed its welcome, which means spring barely gets a chance to speak; but fall is fine by me.
