It’s my favorite season of the year.

I love seeing the gold, red, and orange colors of the leaves, the pumpkin patches, and the produce at your local farmer’s market.

I look forward to unveiling my very first freshly baked pumpkin pie of the season, straight out of the oven—all in its orange and golden brown glory.

Our neighborhood has a warm glow at night with purple and orange lights lining the bushes, trees, and homes on our street. Pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, scarecrows and harvest wreaths adorn the front lawns.

I can’t stop taking pictures of fallen leaves on the ground, the fullness of the oldest tree in the park that has now started to change colors, the pumpkin donuts from the local bakery, that yummy pumpkin-flavored milk tea and, even my autumn-inspired dinner served with a side of sweet potato purée.

The colors of fall can simply take your breath way. Go out and enjoy it by yourself or with your friends and loved ones.

And when you’re enjoying the view, be present in the moment, and be grateful for this glorious gift from nature.

And of course, remember to bring your camera and snap away!

Happy fall!
