Fall Colors

 

Last week, I went on a hike to check out the fall foliage.  Driving in the car, the leaves on the trees I passed were really bright so I figured they‘d be the same on the trail.  They weren‘t.  The foliage on the trail looked like it hadn‘t even begun to change.  There were a few trees here and there that were bright, but most were still green or a drab yellow.

 

There were a few trees around one of the ponds that caught my eye…

Hiking to the top of the mountain (Tunk, to be exact), I not only got to admire the beautiful view, but I found the foliage I was looking for…

First Day Of October!

I have to say that October is probably my favorite month of the year.  Why?  I’m so glad you asked!

First, October is the heart of fall.  And fall is my favorite season.  The leaves turn, the air is crisp, and the weather is cool.  It’s the perfect time of year in my opinion.

Second, Halloween.  My favorite holiday.  I’m not talking the costumes and candy Halloween that corporations created to gain profits, but the pagan holiday at the root of it all.  Samhain.  If you don’t know what that is, I invite you to go on a little journey and research it.  Learning is fun!

And third, my birthday.  That’s right.  October holds the anniversary of the day I was born.  I’ll be 29 this year.  Wow.  I’m getting old!  [-_^]

Anyway, this week I intend to seek out some vibrantly colored fall leaves to photograph.  Over the past few years, the leaves around here have either fallen before they got a chance to change, or the colors weren’t very bright.  I’ll let you know how my search turns out, next week.

Here’s to hoping this year will have brighter fall foliage!

Until next time…
