What I like best about walking in the park in the fall is the changing of the colors. Most days there is a slight breeze and it gently moves the leaves helping them fall to the ground. The leaves are mixture of reds like the sun‚ royal purples‚ orange tint and they seem to fade to brown as soon as they touch the dirt. The walkway is covered by the cracked color of the remaining
