I've pondered often on why Autumn and Winter are my two favorite seasons and I think one of them is, for this person who used to see the colors of the sky, I love how the brightness has come into it and the softness of Summer is painted over. Then add in Autumn's
bright leaves against that cerulean and wow! then the diamond-bright glisten of snow contrasting the violet-blue and oh! Both breathtakingly beautiful. <br>
