Autumn

7 inches wide x 7 inches high

It is autumn, now. The air is crisp at night, time to bring the plants indoors to spend the winter that they wouldn't survive outdoors. The colors out there seem to try to distract us from the diminishing sunlight and the increase in cold and the coming snow and ice. The reds and golds and oranges are like nothing the rest of the year. Enjoy us, they seem to say. Enjoy us now, because the white and the silver are coming, the colors of the cold and the dark.
