Similar to Crankin's situation, fall colors = traffic in the places around here that are the least bit scenic. So far we have leaves going straight from green to brown and falling off, due to a long period without rain that ended last week. I actually do not like seeing the leaves turn colors because it means the trees will soon be bare and it will be cold and then I will be trapped at home by snow and ice and it will be too cold to even open the curtains. I want the green to last as long as possible and then I will eagerly await the new buds of spring, pollen be damned.

These are the colors I love.
