Walking around my neighborhood yesterday (picture at right), I saw this one tree, a few blocks from my apartment building (near the district prosecutor's office, behind the Lotte Department Store).
The tree seemed to have been unclear on the signaling involved with respect to the arrival of fall. It's far ahead of any of its peers. Why this one tree?
I think I've also seen the same tree changing "too soon" in previous seasons. Is it a genetic freak? Or maybe it's ensconced in some weird microclimate? Perhaps the district prosecutor's building exudes some strange air that tastes strongly of coming winter.
