Good morning, sweetie!!!! Thank you so much!!! This kind of color only lasts a few days … and you can get years when the day the colors are just perfect the weather is nasty and rainy and windy … so … no glorious sun gleaming through … and then pffft … all gone for that particular year. You can also get weirdly too wet or too dry summers and the colors will be quite flat. This kind of thing that you see here is sooooo fleeting … and such a gift!!! I’m sooo glad you like the image!!!

Thank you so much, Kim!!!!
