orange and green

the leaves have begun to turn. it seems to me most trees are very predictable in their color progression. but my oaks never have been–every single year their transition is unique. last year they were a brilliant reds. this year, so far, oranges. and in past years, documented here in STILL, i have even had a whole red-orange-yellow-russet-brown-green spectrum all at once. predictability is good, but so is variety. i notice. i document. i wonder.
