I love crepe myrtle trees. Here in Queensland there are not many trees that change with the seasons. The crepe myrtle is a tree that looks beautiful anytime of year. Yesterday, as I drove into town I saw that the trees too, had now lost their bright lolly coloured blooms and their leaves were starting to turn and fall.
Autumn is my one of my favourite times of year, although I have mostly lived here in Queensland, without a true Autumn, my memories of living in other parts of the world are strong. How I would love to rug up and venture out for a long walk under the branches of ancient, golden trees. I'd love to russell and crush my way over layers of fallen leaves. I'd love to sit on a park bench with my children and drink hot chocolate from a thermos.
But you have to take what you can get. Right now, I am glad that the crepe myrtle is getting ready to show it's Autumn colours.
Do you have a favourite tree? Do you like Autumn or do you prefer another time of year?
