We happened to catch a perfect fall day yesterday. The sun was shining brightly, the trees were still holding on to bits of color + the temperatures were tolerable enough to frolic in outside. After taking a drive through the country + fueling up on some Intelligentsia coffee it was inevitable that my camera would find its way to my hands. We went for a hike in a great southern Wisconsin park where I immediately starting taking pictures. We unintentionally matched the scenery + also unintentionally matched each other. I wait all year for this season to return + 2013 did not disappoint me.
When the bleak of winter starts to wear on me I will have to find these pictures + revel in them to remind myself that color will once again reign as king. The forest was full of vivid shades of yellow-orange leaves, back lit with endless sunshine glowing through the trees upon which they were resting. It was breathtaking.
Eugene had so much fun playing in the crunchy leaves + then attempting to eat them when we weren't looking. I am quite certain he would have stayed all day if we would have let him.
I hope you have gotten the chance to be out in nature to enjoy this lovely season. I am going to try to hold on to autumn as long as I can. The holidays will be upon us shortly, we will find ourselves ringing in the new year + before long there will be another baby joining this little family. There is so much to be grateful for!
