Fall leaves from the mountains . . .

We ventured to the mountains last weekend to enjoy Fall foliage at its peak.

After a little research, I learned that mid-October is the perfect time to witness the glorious hues of Fall.

We traveled 1.5 hours North to our local mountains . . . and I couldn't believe how beautiful the forest floor and trees were . . . golds and bright reds speckled the mountain sides. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

The temperature was also quite pleasant . . . low 60s during the day . . . and low 30s at night. That's heaven for us! 

While hiking, I couldn't resist snipping colorful branches from so many of the trees that graced our paths. I brought home enough to make a few bouquets . . . as well as send some to school with our kindergartner and first grader to share with their teachers and classmates.

Our home is filled with the vibrant hues of Fall this year . . . and I love it!

For isn't Fall about the celebration of these vibrant colors? So let's find Fall's beauty and bring it indoors!

fall leaves . . .

I love Fall . . . and all the beauties that it brings forth.

             I brought these Fall leaves home with me from my recent trip to Solvang.  

When my family asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, I answered . . . 

              . . . . the Fall foliage! It was glorious this year. The rolling hills were 

covered in bright oranges and red, as well as deep burgundies. Everywhere!

              . . . . the rustling leaves!  The sidewalks and streets were filled with piles of brown leaves that had recently fallen from the towering trees that line the charming streets of Solvang. When the late afternoon and evening winds blew, hundreds of leaves would tumble across the streets as though they were dancing. It was truly a magical sight, especially at night when the trees above were lit up with twinkling white lights.

             . . . .  and the vineyards! Oh, the vineyards! So many of the rolling hills of Central California are covered in vineyards now. . . as far as the eye can see; and what makes them so stunning this time of year are the changing colors of the grape leaves. Imagine rolling hills of gold, orange, red, and deep burgundy. Everyone should drive through wine country in the Fall . . . . It is truly Fall, at its most beautiful. And if you do, be sure to pack a picnic so that you can enjoy it roadside . . . and relax while you admire God's work. 

What's your favorite part of Fall?
