Sweet Colour
Fall is a favourite time of year for so many because of the rich, vibrant colours that rain down and blanket the earth with a soft, crunchy carpet.
I knew that this display was the trees showing their true colours but I was surprised to discover that the depth and richness of the reds is a reflection of how sweet they are. The more sugar in the leaves, the richer the red.
