Autumn

Interesting... Usually, you think of Autumn as the time when nature begins to die off in preparation for the long sleep of winter... but then, there is the fire of the leaves, as they give up their last breath in an explosion of colors.  (I grew up in northern New York State, where people would come from around the world to see the trees in their fall colors.)

I love the combination of Karina's black dress and hair, with the incredible fire in her eyes and smile, and the passion in the way her hair flows.

Beautiful image for Autumn!
