摘要：There is a tree on my campus, located just outside of the library, which isn’t particularly well shaped or attractive. However, it is still my favorite tree because it is so unique: this is the first tree in the area to herald the upcoming autumn season. Beginning at the very top, a few of the leaves start to turn orange in August, and the color methodically works its way down to the bottom by the end of September. Those first few leaves to change color signal an upcoming transition, simultaneously winding down the relaxed and balmy summer months while ushering in a new school year, crisp weather, and the upcoming holiday season.
