District of Columbia

It's unusually temperate for this time of year. Last year we got snow & a cold snap before the trees even turned, & when that happens you never get nice color. The leaves just sort of fade & then fall. This year the weather has been perfect & the colors fabulous. Today's our last really nice day. Most of the trees have lost their leaves, but there are still a few colorful ones. I would take fall cherry trees over spring any day, but I'd love to see both.
