Flaming Red Leaves Decorating Highway Trees

I rode daily through Waterbury rocky hills when Spring and Fall enchanted drivers who saw evergreen tops vacillate over dreamy landscapes; and between then and now...Autumn still dazzles me more with its flaming red leaves decorating highway trees, one never feels afraid or alone. Stop to admire jessamines and sweet peas cling to reddish barks, as they spread their aroma while sunshine makes lightening sparks among wide branches bearing no fruit of any kind; take the same highway and watch deers run wild! Notation: Waterbury, CT Written by Andrew Crisci for Russell Sivey's contest, " Autumn Splendor "

I live in Western Washington state. We go through the mountains to see the vine maples and blue berries aflame amongst the evergreens. Congratulations Andrew. Love, Joyce
