But, at the same time, cyclical and eternal. It shows us its fragile beauty, in the explosion of colors that paint the woods with all the possible shades of red, yellow, orange. No painter will ever be able to reproduce, during the autumn foliage. When it comes back to life, stretching its sleepy petals as it awakens, it creates an ethereal and radiant beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of you are surely familiar with the blossoming of Japanese cherry trees, Dutch tulips, the lavender in Provence, the sunflowers in the Tuscan countryside.
