- Leslie and Eva in NY sent me this cool pic.
I love fall. It just feels good to be outside this time of year, like nature is celebrating. And the colors are amazing. Red leaves against blue sky are sooooo beautiful. I especially love the red maples (Acer rubrum) we have here in NY. And back in Califa, we had quaking aspens (Populus tremuloides—isn’t it cool how the latin word makes you think of “trembling”?) The leaves turn crystal clear yellow and make such a soothing sound in the breeze, like they’re whispering just to you. Sometimes I really miss those.
I found a beautiful shot of my aspens in this slideshow (check under Explore)– it has pictures of fall leaves all around the country, too.
What’s fall like where you are? Even if you live somewhere that doesn’t have the crazy bright reds like New York, I bet there’s something beautiful changing in nature just outside. Look closely and then write a comment here!

p.s. Speaking of celebrating fall, there’s a new Autumn Ball Collection in the Aventurine Wardrobe—check it out!! It has a red maple leaf mask and cape that are JUST the color I was talking about.
I like fall too! It’s Princess Peace speaking! You know, I’m one with nature myself. Colors of the trees are SO beautiful! I’n fact, their GORGEOUS. I have a maple tree right outside my door. The leafs are so pretty! Their cherry red I think. Wonderful.
Sincerely,

I love those high tops in front of the leaves…I’m a big converse girl,
Maple leaves have such amazing color. I heard on the radio on the way home from school that leaves don’t fall off, they’re PUSHED off. The tree does it on purpose so it doesn’t spend too much energy in the winter. tree wisdom!
