A Springlike Fall


Well it's starting to feel like fall here in a tropical way.  I'm so used to having all the leaves change colors and fall off, but here in Southern China fall is very different.  It does get cooler, but still in the low 70's.  Flowers are blooming on the trees.  As I walk down a street the air is filled with fragrant smells.  White, purple and pink flowers are blooming on the trees.  It seems more like spring here than fall.  The light has changed.  The days are getting shorter.  Did you know that there is no Daylight savings in China?  I found this interesting.  Well, I can still say Fall is one of my favorite seasons even without the falling leaves.
