autumn approaches

Summer is gone and Autumn is settling in slowly; bringing chilly mornings and evenings, the stars becoming brighter in sharper night skies, and small tints of color adorning even Florida's flora. Although, Floridian autumn isn't nearly as gorgeous and flamboyant as the northern autumn.
I remember driving around in the northeast in autumn as a child; New Jersey, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut. The hills were rich with golden fire as red leaves mixed with orange, burnished yellows standing out on the topmost branches, and the dark green of evergreens contrasting prettily.

It's give and take though - either you're up north with all the natural beauty you could desire while you're freezing to death, or you're here in Florida where it's warm enough, but not nearly as aesthetically pleasing.

One thing Florida does triumph over the other states in is the SKY! The skies here are as brilliant compared to the northern ones as English skies compared to American ones. There's something exciting about the depth of blue, something alluring and enticing that makes me want to spread my wings and fly as high as I can to get into that silky azure.

There was no real point to this post other than to free my mind of the numbing affect calculus exams always have on it.
