The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, 

as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale."

MySpot: Autumn Glory such as This

"Soon the leaves will all be turning,

From their many shades of green,

Into colors bright and gorgeous...

Reds and yellows, browns and orange,

Underneath the smiling sun,

Each leaf vying with the other

In the change they've now begun.

Giving up their Summer wardrobes,

Gladly; joyfully, with glee,

Putting on their Autumn trousseau,

As they leave their mother tree..."

Gertrude Tooley Buckingham - The Wedding of the Leaves

Tomato Red

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, 

wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."

Miles Kington
