Fall Colors

I know it's not Fall yet, but the feather fell and these are pretty bright colors.  Everyone seems to make the same kind of fuss about fall colors every year, so I always feel like doing something a little different.  So much of what catches my eye is contrast.  The lone black pebble on a white beach, or the only white pebble on a black beach.  In this case, bright blue and yellow, side by side, in a sea of green.  And the green, watered lawn stands out against the surrounding brown of the unwatered "wilderness" on either side of campus.  Soon, the evergreens will stand out as the deciduous trees turn red, yellow and orange, then lose their leaves.  The latest bloomers will stand out in their stubborn persistence when most others have wilted, gone to seed, and are already becoming part of the soil.
