The topic for this weeks Illustration Friday is Detach. Living in California, one of the things I miss the most is Fall. The color of the changing leaves and the crispness in the air that I remember so vividly from my youth and college days. Hopefully I will be able to go to Chicago this October and get a refresher course in Autumn.
beautiful colors!

If I wouldn't have Fall I wouldn't cry for that ;-)
Your illustration is so clear and lovely.

and I know what you mean....I missed that quite a bit during the time we lived in CA....I also missed the sound of the wind whistling through the leaves
great idea for the topic!

Fall is my favorite of all seasons and having spent the first 11 years of my life in the Adirondack mountains, I dearly miss the color here in Florida (where we have 2 seasons - green and brown). Your illustration gives me a taste of the season and a desire to throw caution to the wind and spend the $$$ to go north again this October!!!

I love your simple design. I've lived out of the States now for 37 years and the fall is what I miss most. Enjoy!
