Autumn Interest
There is something deeply uplifting about the flamboyancy of trees in the autumn. Perhaps we are tiring of the trite pastels of spring and summer.

Our guide below will help you identify the dashing characters you encounter on your travels (you know, to the supermarket...work...recreation ground).
