Paragraph 1
The changing of the colour of the autumn
is a spectacular, photogenic,
event in many forests around the world. The
of golds, reds, yellows, greens and browns provides a colourful
that ushers in the end of summer. This year in the USA, the autumn
has been adversely affected by drought
. The vibrant colours of the leaves have been dulled by
dry weather. Over 80 per cent of America's northwest is undergoing
conditions that are not conducive to
foliage. The traditional autumnal beauty spots of Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and New Hampshire are experiencing
drought, and lacklustre colours.
