F is for Fall, Foliage, and Fun

We’ve been enjoying a lovely fall.  I wanted to share some fall fotos that capture the beauty and the fun we’ve been up to:

I pass this big tree as I drive up our street.  It is huge, stately and turns a gorgeous shade of colors.  It makes me smile when I see it.

Halloween Fun

What a boring title! I tried to be creative, but nothing came to me.  Anywho, this is my recap of our weekend of fun.  Be forewarned, this post is picture-laden.

The Feeling of Fall

Although I’m a day late (and a dollar short), I decided to participate in the “You Capture” challenge at I Should Be Folding Laundry.  This week the challenge is to capture the feeling of fall.   Looking through my photos, I don’t have as many “fallish” photos as I’d like, but these particular ones say fall [...]
