Things I Love About Fall

The official first day of Winter is on December 21. But here in North Dakota, winter starts from the minute the snow stays on the ground, because along comes the wind and before you know it, you could freeze into a human snowman. Unfortunately, these dark days are upon us and I have been desperately wishing for a rewind button to indulge in fall, if just for a moment (or another month is fine too).  To escape, I was looking at pictures online and I thought I would share the things I love about fall with all of you :)

I love absorbing nature's beauty and everything it has to offer. This is why I need a sweet expensive camera. Anyway, back to the list.

1. The Glorious Colors of Fall
Shades of Red, from leaves that look like glistening rubies to the color of a rich Merlot and onto scarlet hues and tones of burgundy.
 Yellow tones, from bright sunflower and lemon to a good dose of mustard and amber.

Bursts of orange and gold, from intense flame hues to shades of copper and brass.

2. Love Blossoms In Every Season

3. Caramel Machiattos

4. The crunch of leaves under your feet

5. Leaves falling around you as you walk outside

6. The sunlight streaming thought a canopy of tinted leaves

7. The smell and flavor of cinnamon

8. Pumpkins used as decor



9. Pumpkin patches



 10. Sitting down on park bench to let the beauty around you sink in


11. Drinking Apple Cider

12. Eating smores
13. Sitting around a bonfire or a fireplace
