I love the changing seasons.  The cooler temperatures in the fall are always welcome after a hot summer.  This time of year, we like to take a drive up into the mountains to see the changing colors.  The vibrant colored leaves amaze me every time.  I take pictures each year, but somehow the pictures just don’t do the colors justice.
