The Changing Colors of Fall Plants

This blog is a documentation of the changing colors of the fall season. Within are a set of photographs capturing the change of color that has happened so far as well as an essay describing why this process happens. As a sidenote sorry about the messed up order of posts, i couldn't change this setting

Documentation of Changing Fall Colors

i wanted to document the change of fall colors because so often the whole process slips by without me even appreciating it. I took out my camera and picked a spot in my neighborhood to capture the changing colors. Unfortunately some of the trees i picked are still greenish but the beginning of the process is clear.
