I love red leaves in the fall, the bright crimson that always catches my eye when I pass a red tree.  I loved going to the Rose dining hall this fall because of the bright red trees that surround the exit.  It was wonderful to walk on a makeshift red carpet while going back to my room from the dining hall.  And looking past the beautiful trees, out to the distant rising slope with houses dotting the colorful tree covered landscape, is breath-taking too.  Capturing these various colors was amazing, and I was happy to take some of the fall colors and bring them to my room.  This arts and crafts activity is perfect for brightening up a room.  The bright yellows, the deep greens, and the rich purple-red colors that I see so often outside look gorgeous around the outline of my maple leaf.  While it is sad that fall and all of the beautiful fall colors do not last forever, I am happy that no matter what the season is, I still get a reddish fall leaf in my window!
