This Is A Post About Clowns. Why? 'Cause Clowns are Cool

Scary clowns, happy clowns, colorful clowns, sad clowns...I find them all pretty inspiring.  They're fun to draw because they are so colorful and have such wonderful shapes. They make people happy when they are sad.  They scare the shit out of small children. What's not to love?

100 Awe-Inspiring Fall Photos

During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.

It is the combination of all these things that make the beautiful fall foliage colors we enjoy each year.
