a fiery beauty

Today I was thankful for several things. As always, I was thankful for my friends-I had a great day and night with many of them! But the one I'll write about today (since I already wrote about friends anyway) is for fall. Today, we had beautiful fall weather! This year, our fall has been rather dry-though typically fall in Ostrava is pretty wet. I remember that last year I was somewhat disappointed with the fall because the colors weren't as vibrant as they are in New England. But this year, probably mostly due to the fact that it has been pretty dry, we have had a gorgeous fall. The leaves have been all colors from red to yellow to orange. My favorite, though I didn't take a picture, was of one tree that looked very much like there was fire in its branches, because of the way it went from yellow to red. My favorite color of all is this red color that leaves turn. So this year, I have been so thankful that I have been able to partake in the beauty that is the fall. And for today's gorgeous weather in general.
