The Beauty of Brown?

Sometimes it feels like I just can’t be satisfied. A few months ago the bare trees and branches were irritating, with the world covered in monotonous browns and grays. I longed for the leaves to come back to get some color back in the world again.

Now, the trees are bursting with green, and life in all its glory is showing itself. And I want the bare trees back again. When the trees are bare, the temperature tends to be cooler and far more pleasant to me than the brain-rotting heat of summer. And yet, I know that if they were bare, I’d be longing for green once again.

So perhaps it’s not the seasons that need to change, but my location. I mean, if I was in a cooler area with coniferous trees, well, it’d be cold AND green! The best of both options!
