Press release from Parkways Blog:

This autumn we may not have Halloween parties, fall festivals, and other events to look forward to but we still have the incredible fall foliage in our city’s beautiful parks. Seattle’s parks are home to thousands of trees whose leaves change from green to yellow, yellow to orange, orange to red, red to brown, and fall to the ground. This fall its perfect time to reflect on how that even when life seems stuck, the trees around us continue to change and grow.
