Autumn Tree

One thing I’ve missed about the Midwest is autumn, something that Colorado, California and Utah don’t know how to do properly. So when I returned there a few weeks back, I guessed that I’d get to see some of it… but autumn this year was pretty dreary. I was told that this year the trees pretty much went straight from green to brown to dead, skipping right over the “bright red and orange and yellow” stage for the most part. Still, there was the occasional tree valiantly trying to put on a good show.
