In Colombia, we do not have seasons, so we do not have the change of color on our trees leaves or the gorgeous magic of different flowers in spring, but we do have a nice weather and colorful flowers year round.
I have been living in United States for 8 years and the changing fall foliage never fails to surprise and delight me. Every year I wonder how and why does autumn palette of colors happen? I have found 2 articles that explain this magnificent process; one explains the process in a simple manner and the other one a little bit more technical.
