Many times when I talk to people here in Florida, they comment on missing the change of seasons. Usually, that refers to the change of colors in the Fall. Well, while Florida's seasons are not quite as distinct as those that can be experienced in the northern states that can show off splendid and brilliant fall colors, a change of colors can still be experienced here as well.
After having lived here for a while, I've started to pay attention to the subtle changes that start taking place in late September and continue throughout the winter months. Sometimes, you can watch the same tree go through a transformation of changing colors much as you would up North, sometimes the change takes place as a change of overall mood than a spectacular explosion of color.

This tree in my neighborhood puts on showy yellow leaves around its small flowers. A few weeks later, it'll turn into a showy red color before taking on an orange tone.

I encourage to look for these changes throughout your neighborhood. You may not see too many big trees or a whole forest turn color but you will see changes in the certain spots, even in the vines!
