October's Haba Black-Sea Lake is so beautiful it leaves you speechless;
by now the Sorbus rehderiana has flamed into a scarlet torch.
It stays red for only fifteen days each year—miss it and you wait until next autumn.

Against snow-capped peaks and jade-blue water the crimson tree looks like a fairy-tale scene,
as if someone had tipped over the palette of God himself:
reds, yellows, blues and greens all spilling before my eyes.

Nature's rarest shade—purple—is supplied by this grape-violet bucket hat.
Have to admit it pairs well with everything, white or yellow shell jackets alike.
