i've lived in a sunny, south florida town all of my life where there were only two seasons: summer and winter. nothing intermedial. i had never experienced the cool smell of autumn, or the millions of colors surrounding you in the tall branches of golden leaf covered branches.

i often times let my eyes wander into the branches of the trees up high as i walk around campus. it really is a beautiful sight, every leave a unique blend of varying shades reds, oranges, and yellows creating a serene feeling as you walk by.

i picked this leaf off the ground because it is a wonderful example of the type of leaves you can find lying around after an autumn's breeze in downtown atlanta.
