The forest glows.
Leaves fade,
and brown
and decompose."

Natural progression of the color changes that occur in fall, with breathtaking photography. Just a few words on each page to describe the photograph. A really nice way to show and tell the story of fall from the end of summer to the begining of winter. ( )
