Chloe seems to also have a habit &#8211; ruining my beautiful shots. She&#8217;s always in the picture somehow, which is actually somewhat amusing. If you don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s there, always look at the sides or in the corners. You&#8217;d probably find some of her hair there because of the wind blowing, and all that stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600; font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">It&#8217;s strange, but I love the vividness of the greens, oranges, yellows. And now, they&#8217;re gone. Winter is coming, fall is leaving. Fall did its job, making the trees beautiful before wiping it all away, but oh well. I have the pictures. In fact, here&#8217;s a couple of them!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4969\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Clear-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Clear-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Clear.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4970\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Green-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Green-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Green-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Green.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4971\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Grey-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Grey-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Grey.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4972\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Pink-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Pink-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Pink-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Pink.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4973\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Yellow-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Yellow-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Yellow-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Yellow.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600; font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">A nice little collage of my nature shots&#8230; I don&#8217;t really know why I&#8217;m so attracted to the trees. Probably because where my house is located there are no trees. Just fake grass, sand for dirt, and all that other lovely stuff. Hmph, oh well. Although, just like every other kid, I always wanted a tree house. Of course there was always one little problem: we didn&#8217;t have any trees. For a good bit of my life, we stayed in apartments. I think it was around maybe fourth grade when we moved into a house. But alas, no trees still. But it had a huge yard, so I had room to play, and there was a shed where I would mess with the pool table until my parents kicked my siblings and I out of it for safety reasons. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600; font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">Anyway, I love trees. They&#8217;re just really pretty to me, and I enjoy looking at them. I&#8217;m contemplating making a story that is almost like\u00a0<em>The Giving Tree\u00a0<\/em>by Shel Silverstein, but not exactly because it wouldn&#8217;t be a children&#8217;s story.
