The first day of fall

Today is the first day of my favorite season, autumn. Leaves are not yet turning, but they will be soon. I hope to get some good pics around the house, as we're lousy with maples and other great trees.
I looked in my photos folders for an old picture of autumn leaves, but I couldn't find any. Have I never taken photos of the red and gold leaves?

I walked around my new little town on Saturday and took some photos, but I forgot to bring my camera cord. Tomorrow, I'll have pics of "Victorian Bellefonte" for you.

Nothing like a new season in a new town. We're looking forward to a tour.

I love autumn too.
In a bittersweet way. Reflective about the past, but very cleansing, as the usually plentiful rains settle the dryness of a hot summer.
The colors are easier on the eyes, too--at least for me, the golden tones calming, rust, earthy.

Fall Is my best time of the year. I do my best work then,I have more energy and I love it.

Autumn is also my fav season. My daughter was born then, just an extra reason to love it.
I saw in our local paper that Bellefonte had an apartment fire. Don't know how big your town is, but I thought--uh oh. But you are safe. That's good.

Thanks, Monkey.

Dusty--I love having four seasons!

NCMtnWoman--I'm posting it now!

Nina--as usual, you stated my feelings in words far more beautiful and poetic than I could have.

JamesSpr--me too! I love being outside in the fall chill, working hard.

KGMom--yes, I am safe, but a coworker of mine lived in that complex. She said she got out with the clothes on her back and her cellphone. We're taking up a collection for her here at work. Poor kid.

I love autumn too. I spent much of Saturday evening reviewing last year's Happy October photos. We had such a dry summer, I doubt this year will live up to it. (Is that how that works? Or am I making that up?)

Earl--I don't really know! I know rainfall has something to do with it. We've had a bit of a dry summer as well, certainly in comparison with past summers.
