Fall is my FAVORITE season. The weather is wonderful, not too hot, not too cold, the plants in the yard are all full and filled in, and you are surrounded by pretty colors everywhere!
Except for this year. This year in Northern Utah, we went from 70 degrees to 40 degrees (daytime high) overnight. Literally. We had freezing overnight temperatures the day after Halloween.
As a result, all of our nice lush green leaves in the yard froze and turned brown. No pretty colors.
There were a few trees here and there in the valley that had turned earlier that were pretty, but I still have pathetic dead greenish - brownish leaves hanging off my apple tree and flowering plum tree. They haven’t even managed to fall yet!
So today when I came across these gorgeous pictures here, I couldn’t help but wish I had been there to see these scenes myself, this is what Fall is all about!
At least I could post them for others to see as well!
So enjoy…imagine you’re breathing in the crisp sweet autumn air as you stroll through these beautiful fall scenes…
“Give a little whistle” to the pretty sparrows still keeping us company…
Enjoy these last few pleasant afternoons and evenings before old man winter comes knocking..
Don’t forget to pay attention to the little details.. maybe harvest a few leaves for framing or art projects at home…
and enjoy the crunch of leaves under your feet as you walk through the incredible vista’s that are there for your enjoyment.
This last one is my favorite.
Thank you to the various photographers that provided these images. They can be found here.
We appreciate them!
