the colors are extrodinary

Oh I love the changing of the seasons and the hard to predict weather. The only thing I have to say that I really don't like is when the weather gets so so cold that it is painful to even step outside. Oh and Ice....I don't like the ice. Other than that....I love it.

Yes, we do have something special! And then when winter comes, we wish we lived elsewhere...it seems we're never happy...lol

That is a wonderful attitude to have...to love all the 4 seasons here. I wish I could enjoy the winters like you do. I seem to hybernate during that time...it is so cold! lol

We do get to experinece all seasons but the difference is not as much as yours. Here we do not have trees with leaves which change colour with season. But the basic fall of leaves, giving a bare look and then new leaves come whihc gives a fresh look. But not all trees shed leaves, so it is not very bare. Also though we have flowers all round the year, it is maximum in autum and winter.

It is amazing how nature does its own thing in different parts of the world, isn't it? Our first snow fall, is beautful too, when everything gets covered white, and the bare branches, when covered with wet snow is a picture that we would like to look at forever too, but it doesn't take long for the snow on the branches to melt and drip off, so it doesn't last long.

Thanks for best response =)

Oh, Please don't tell me that the winter is going to be bad.....after having a beautiful fall, we have to deal with the cold, dirt, and mush of the winter..lol

Well, I believe every place has something special. I have seen the Blue Grass of Kentucky, and that is beautiful!

I guess it all depends on where you live. We all see beauty in different things.

Yup, you almost get up anxious everyday, holding our breath that get that gush of wind that will make it all dissappear...

*that we don't get that gush of wind...sorry typo

Your trees in Australia sound beautiful too...I would love to have the Poinciana tress and those Jacarandas in our neck of the woods. In the spring and summer, we have just green, and in late fall and winter, our trees, except for the evergreens, are bare with no leaves at all.

Yes, I, too, love taking the pictures. I have attached another one just for you!

I, too, lived in California, and the one thing I missed the most were our trees..lol..I was tired of looking at all the Palm Trees.. Here's another one just for you!

I believe it happens here, because we have so many different type of trees all in the the same areas...therefore they all turn different, and blend in togther to create a beautiful site. However, in the summer, what I enjoy is looking at other states that have the same trees for miles, and they all are the same beautiful lusious green together. Because we have different trees, and different greens, they are nicer to look at in the Fall when they turn, then in the summer. So it seems that every state, has it's own beauty at different times of the year.

I believe I saw that film, but don't quite remember that scene (actually, I don't remember yesterday..lol). We hear about the olive groves and olive trees here in the states, and I always wished I could visit there....it must be a very unusual site to look at, one that I would love to see. Our Spring is nice to look at too, when the leaves start to bud on the trees, and the flowers in everyone's gardens start to bloom, but the leaves at that time only go from yellow to green and then we only see green until the fall comes. It is in the Fall, that the beauty comes forth- when they go from green to red, to orange, and then yellow. Once they are yellow, the leaves are actually hard and crunchy, and then when we have a couple of days of hard winds, they all fall to the ground, leaving our trees actually quite bare, with only branches. Our evergreen trees are the only trees that don't turn colors, and never loose it's leaves during the winters. I've given you a picture of what our trees look like in the winter

Yes, they do go fast now, except for the winters...they seem to go forever...lol

Well, our spring and fall, do go fast too. Actually it seems that every season goes fast, except the winter, which is the worse season around here.
