Pixelated F-Stops: Fall Picnic

I think I've said it about a hundred times. Fall? My absolute favorite season.



Warm, but not sweltering days. Cool, crisp evenings. The occasional rain shower and the colors. Oh, how I LOVE the colors of fall. Vibrant, showy yellows. Bold, attention grabbing reds. Splashy, sunny oranges. Deep plums, warm coppers. The colors of fall are amazing.



We're just beginning to see the colors dust the trees. Yellow is always the early arrival...birches, cottonwoods and the elms have all begun to blush sunny yellow. Red comes next...the fire bushes, buffalo berry bushes and sumac in fiery, scarlet red. Orange is the last and rarest, the few oaks and maples in town usually hold out till long after the first hard frost. The few leaves that have already fallen are like dark yellow butterflies when they flit by on the breeze.


This past weekend Tim, Lilly and I packed the car with our typical picnic accouterments, hit the road and spent most of Sunday enjoying a gorgeous fall day. Sunny, breezy with the Hills just getting into the fall swing.

It was pretty much a perfect day.
