Oh Maggie I completely FEEL YOUR PAIN! LOL I miss the seasons. I'm a seasons person. I like the change in weather, I like the change in hues. I literally hunt out trees out here as they change color LOL but it just isn't as brilliant as living in an area with a reason for seasons (lol the desert just doesn't get it!)
I have some beautiful pictures from the Autumn in Japan and every year, when I go back I usually get the tail end of it. I'm hoping for some Autumn hues again this year.

If i get any good snaps I'll share!
