Although most of the leaves are on the ground around my place, there are trees that seem to want to hang on till the bitter end...and they all happen to be on my property. Guess I'll be getting an extra workout this year shoveling snow and soggy, wet leaves. But the colours are very nice, even the leaves on the ground. There's bright oranges, deep reds, shiny yellows and even a few green ones. I took a pic of the only tree I could get to easily from my backyard deck yesterday it was so nice. It doesn't really do it justice in the pic, but when the sun shines through the leaves they really look cool.
In keeping with the spirit of purdy colours, it seems that my knee and most of my lower leg have taken on some of the autumn spectrum. The arthroscopic hole on my thigh has a cherry red centre with a beautiful yellow inner horseshoe ring around it and a glowing green middle ring that darkens to a nice plum shade.
Oooooohhh! Ahhhh!
Below that, you can see an aurora borealis of diffused yellows and greens streaking down my inner thigh down to my inner knee where it forms a purple centre as if it it were the eye of the colour explosion. It's perfect timing as I hear the fall can be a good time to spot these "northern lights."
What brilliance!
The colours don't end there. Travelling south to the calf region is where the saturation of colour increases with deep maroons, purples and mauves mixed together and spattered in various circular shapes. It ends with a crescendo of hues around a bulging lightning bolt shape comprised of maganificent hues of mulberry, orchid, pomegranate and wine.
Attention aspiring astronomers: you don't need a telescope to see these colours.
Okay, that was my creative writing for today :-) Hope everyone enjoys this last bit of nice weather and especially the last of the fall colours this weekend...in the leaves, that is.
