The forest path that I walk everyday always looks different. It's like a different journey every time :)

Fall
cool crisp runs over crunchy leaves
changing colors fireplace with early fire Scarfs, eventually...Virgos Libras Scorpios and Halloween Greco |
The fall is the changing of the colors if you will, the air is crisper and cleaner.
The many colors the leaves change to, as well as watching the animals adapt to the up coming season. One thing I miss most is riding through the woods and feeling the peace of it all. We use to have a pasture in the front of the place that had oak trees so I would get the leaf blower and pile up as many leaves in piles as I could then sit back and watch the horses along with the barn pets have a ball playing in the leaves. being it was the first fall for the weanlings it was all new to them...watching them discover a new way to have fun was priceless. |
No more mosquitoes!

Haha... Talon, I can't watch. I've become such a baby about the super scary stuff. I used to have more nerve. Not sure what happened! Though I have been known to enjoy a sunset walk through the cemetery in the fall. ^_^ I think it can be quite romantic in a way. Look at these statues from the Woodlawn Cemetery in NY. The inscription reads: "kissing beyond dreaming, beyond death, forever in stone, if not in flesh.."
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...96c52c4914.jpg What else? I love pumpkin flavored everything in the fall. I'm especially fond of my pumpkin soy lattes. I celebrate Thanksgiving in a way but without calling it that. I won't celebrate it without an acknowledgement of the true history behind the holiday. And of course, I love the glorious colors. |
evenings are earlier, twilight seems more beautiful

acting like a kid
Every time I see a pile of leaves, I have to just kick them so they fly everywhere lol.
I know pretty childish, but fun all the same. |
I love the way the light seems different in autumn. Fading afternoon light seems to say, "Get inside! Bake some cookies! Wear your toasty warm bedroom shoes!" Glowing front porch lights are cozier and more welcoming: "Come inside! There are warm cookies here! You can warm your feet by the fire!"
