We are in the middle of a wonderful
time of the year. This fall season has
been exceptionally beautiful, in my opinion.
The collage of colors astounds my eyes.
As if an artist painstakingly painted each individual leaf, the
combination of red, yellow, orange, and brown presents an amazing picture to
gaze upon. There is one tree on campus
in which I truly do believe an artist painted.
It is not unique for a tree to have a multitude of colors in its leaves,
but this particular tree has its leaves separated by color in such a way that
it looks as if the tips of the tree branches are on fire. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of this
tree for everyone to see. If one wishes
to look upon this tree on fire, I recommend walking over to Memorial Union (the
Hello Walk) and look towards University Hall.
With the changing of the leaves
colors also comes the busy work of Purdue’s little critters. When I look outside my window every morning I
am greeted by my friend Toshiro (Please comment if you recognize this name.). He likes to scamper around in the leaves,
wagging his bushy tail back and forth while getting ready for the upcoming winter. Frequently I see him scampering around his
trees warding off others from his treasures but every once in a while he likes
to play a game of hide and seek with a squirrel from across the street (I am
making that up, I don’t know where the other squirrel is from). Sometimes I wonder if he will still come out
and play during the winter. If not I
will see him again in the spring. I hope
he does come out though because I want to see if he will play with the ice
colored marbles I am planning on making this winter.
