| Description | My favorite season has always been Fall. While we still get the seasons change in Texas, nothing was more dramatic than the changing of the seasons in Minnesota. I loved watching the trees change color. There is a street in Rochester that has a canopy of trees. I loved driving the street all year round. I loved the starkness of the branches during the winter, the fresh buds of life in the spring, the vividness of the greens in the summer, and finally the transitioning colors of the fall. I designed this poncho to celebrate this Rochester street and its trees. |
