FALL FOLIAGE VIEWING IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Fall is my favorite time of year! The heat
begins to leave the civilized jungle and fall colors move into the
area. It's a nice welcomed change.
The prettiest fall colors that
I've had the fortune to view reside in Arkansas. One particular
year we were visiting the area to view the fall foliage and as we
rounded a wide bend in the road - BINGO! A long strand of tall trees
attractively attired in golds, reds, oranges, burnt umbers and a
smidgen of green came into view, completely mesmerizing both Tom
and me.
I just wanted to stay in that place forever, for
indeed at that moment, I had truly died and gone to heaven.
