A Riot of Color

One of the things we missed the most when we first moved to Africa was the changing of the seasons from summer to fall. We didn’t miss the cooler temps. We didn’t miss the shorter days and longer nights. We didn’t miss winter’s imminent approach.

We missed the changing color of the leaves.

The explosion of color from green to fiery reds, oranges, and yellows.

Some of that missing has gone away. We all enjoy the steady temperatures in Africa. We love the year-round warmth. We love that the days stay the same length year round because we live at the equator.

This year, we get to spend part of the fall in New England and the north east. The colors have been fantastic this year!

We’ve been taking loads of pictures to store up a supply of color to enjoy when we are in Africa and the longing for the fall color riot takes us. We can look at the pictures in the comfort of our warmth with no dread of impending cold weather. We’ll get our “color fix” and go on.
