Fall Is Here

FallTreeFall started yesterday at 4:44 PM. Today was the first full day of fall. The temperatures were very cool this morning. I think it was like 50 degrees. It was crisp and definitely felt like fall. During the day it only got up to 70 degrees but the humidity was low and there was a cool breeze most of the day.

Fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp nights, low humidity warm days, the trees changing colors, the leaves falling and all the holidays we experience between now and the end of the year. Mostly I love the colors I see in the trees. Each year is a bit different. Sometimes the rain fall, temperatures, etc. are just right to make for a beautifully colorful fall. I’m not sure how this year will turn out but I’ve already started to see signs of a quick color change. There’s one tree in my parking lot that changes quickly. I checked it out today and sure enough most of the leaves had changed color and started to fall. I thought it was a little soon for the leaves to be falling. The color is almost on track but the falling leaves is too soon. I want them to stay on the trees to enjoy them. But you can’t stop nature. The trees will do what they are going to do with the conditions they’ve been given. I just hope I see some really colorful trees this year. I don’t want them to turn brown too soon.

What’s your favorite season? Why?

Fall Is Here!

Fall really arrived over night. The temperatures are in the 50s and the air finally feels like fall. I’m so glad it’s here now. I’ve been so tired of the muggy, humid days here in the DC area. I want to see the leaves start to change but that will be a few weeks from now. Until then, here’s a shot of leaves from last year. And you can see I changed the banner above to reflect the season.

Day 292 of 365

The boyfriend and I went on a walk today to see the fall colors around his neighborhood. We saw some great colors. I collected some fall leaves. I love this time of year!
