fall colors preview it's almost time for mother nature to do her fall foliage magic! here's a handy map with a preview of what we can expect- capon bridge hagerstown thurmont frederick baltimore leesburg front royal washington annapolis warrenton shenandoah natl. park culpepper fredericksburg la plata key to map orange leaves, how original! an o.k. color for fast food restaurant decor, but does it even belong outside? what is this, gamboge? put a color like this on a tree & that tree will look fat. a teal would work well here, but no, we get yellow. how tediously aggressive red is! besides, doesn't it rile up the cows or something? camouflage! does anyone even o camouflage anymore? this sort of plummy, glutinous burgundy just scream "martha stewart manque!" or is mother nature being a teensy bit ironic? no. do i have to say it? "ecru" is french for"drab." i mean, please, who does your foliage, sherwin-williams?

I don’t know. But leaving it in black and white may actually make it funnier.

Dad’s dictionary has an entry showing how engineers indicated color in black and white drawings. I have total faith it’s on the internet somewhere, but lack the magic words that will summon it.
