October

How do you review Autumn? How do you attempt to record the nuclear burst of color, the way the breeze contains both the warm hug of Summer and the bitter foreshadowing of Winter, the glorious last gasp of Nature as she pulls in upon herself to reload for next year's bounty? How do you freeze in time the dynamic and unstoppable river that is October?

You don't.

You simply go outside, open your arms, and say "Thank you, God". This fall is already lighting up in awe-inspiring technicolor, and (if it ever stops raining) it just may soon be spectacular.
