No, you're not imagining it: the Fall colors are truly spectacular this year! I live in the North End and when I walked outside this morning I just marvelled at the profusuion of reds, oranges and yellows outside my house. Of course, Fall is always beautiful in Boise--and for my money it is by far the best time of year here--but I too think that this autumn promises to be one of the best in recent memory. I'm thinkin' maybe the weird weather we had--the second-ever hottest September on record, followed by two weeks of temps well below normal--may have something to do with it. If I understand the science correctly, the colors come from sugars in the leaves becoming "locked up" due to the shutdown of the trees' photosynthesis process.
But whatever the reason, I be likin' it! Besides the North End, other areas of town I've noticed some great color have been in the Park Centre area and also Warm Springs.
