It is my favorite season by a long shot.
I love the crisp edge of the air, even on warm days. I love the changing color of the leaves in the trees, the crunchiness of the leaves that have fallen and the smell of the leaves as they begin to decompose. I love the way the light changes as it filters through the thinning bright yellow and red trees.
Today I took some time out to walk on the trails through a local city park - this is right in the middle of town! - and take in the gorgeous weather and views.
The colors are absolutely beautiful right now. Everything is at it's peak.
The tree tops were glowing in the morning sunlight. This picture really doesn't do justice.
A split tree trunk left over from one of the strong storms that blew threw this summer. I loved the texture and the undulating grain.
A single leaf caught in a broken branch illuminated by the stream of sunlight.
The trail was so inviting.
I had to share it with several creatures this morning. I've finished harvesting, but their work is reaching a fever pitch.
Just a few more days of this left I think . . .
