Description
In Michigan, when the autumn foliage is in full style, there is nothing like it anywhere. If the cold and rain work together with the trees just right, we get spectacular hues of crimson, gold, russet, persimmon. Of course, we could say they are red, brown, yellow, and orange. But there is something missing in describing Michigan's autumn colors with those words. They aren't definitive enough. They aren't rich or bold enough.
I photographed this autumn floor filled with colorful leaves on a freezing day, so in one maple leaf, you can see that the water from a recent rain had puddled up and froze.
There is a poem I love by Lin Yutang, it goes like this:
I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colors richer and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden riches speak not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kingly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and is content.
