Fabulous fall foliage

I don't much care for summer in Virginia but fall is amazing. The leaves are beautiful and at times glow when the sun hits just right. Especially
against the backdrop of an azure sky.

 I spend a lot of time in our little patch of woods admiring the colors. Sitting on my favorite stump and looking up, it's like a giant kaleidoscope. It's my favorite outdoor place to write. It's a vacation spot literally in my own backyard!

I wrote this poem in third grade. Fall has always, and always will be, my favorite season:

In fall the leaves come tumbling down
Red, yellow, orange and brown
Of all the seasons I think that fall
Is my very favorite one of all.
