All right, I'm not going to try an act like Kansas is this year-round beautiful spectacular because frankly (and specifically in the West) it can be quite dull especially in the winter when the sky is white and the ground is white and except for the occasional crack of black from some lone, barren tree some parts (again mostly the in the West) are just these desolate blanks.
But Kansas in Fall is absolutely perfect. I mean this is stuff they make oil paintings of; this is what they put on the cover of chalk pastel box to show just how beautiful a masterpiece you too can create with the company's product.
Every color radiates and yet none of them are entirely pure. Instead what you have are areas of orange in all of its tones and inflections in a beautiful medly enriching its quality and the same is true for the greens and the reds and the purples and the complex autumn browns. Each one brilliantly standing forth.
We're you to drive through the area you would see these far outstreching hills not too high so as to obstruct and limit your view but with just the appropriate incline to allow for you that the vast richness of the land should be laid out in its most before your eyes. Open spaces of either green grassy fields blurred slightly with small compliments of yellow or harvested fields now warmed and darkened into an unexplainable orange-brown with hints of purple like the copper of a penny are divided by thick tree lines where the leaves have turned for the most part to a vibrant yellow-gold brushing against the pure blue of the sky alive in its color with layers of small yet morphing white clouds.
I don't have any pictures of this and it really sucks. I had lost my last camera over the same and we've gotten a new one but it did not come with a memory card and that is something I keep forgeting to go out and get. But really the pictures wouldn't matter. This is something you have to go and see even if you just driving through.
