Fall Foliage Autumb Colors - Tumblr Posts
Fall this year hit me hard in a lot of ways. I know I’ve talked here about being sad that I would miss out on fall foliage now that I’m back on the coast. My new back yard had other plans. It has made me so happy to have foliage out of my bedroom window and on the path. To make it better it has been mixed in with live oaks. It happens a lot later in the year here, but I’m so happy the earth gifted me with some foliage after my move.
Going into winter again, I never appreciated how the evergreen pine forests, palms, live oaks, and the general coastal surroundings protected me from true seasonal depression. I know last year it was a mixture of experiencing a real “stick season” and being homesick, etc… but it’s comforting knowing that my world here is not going to go gray for a while. The shorter days don’t hurt as hard now that I have friends to see. I have safe places to go. The dark isn’t as scary or lonely here.
