It is fall here too. The evening air is cool, and the wind on the bay has lost its summer force.


Here native leaves do not wither in fall but slowly fade, still green, awaiting quenching winter rains to spring back their verdancy.


The trees that change are mostly foreign hybrids -- sumac, maple, beech -- favoured by fussy horticulturists and nostalgic wanderers.


Sometimes one turns a corner and finds a tunnel of sun-drenched yellows and resplendent reds overarching a quiet suburban street.
