My photos of Fall in Pennsylvania

I realized a few weeks ago that I have never looked forward to fall the way I do this year. I'm craving to see the fall colors and enjoy the slightly (!) cooler temps, and to be inspired creatively by the season. Over the weekend, I was in Pennsylvania and have enjoyed all of these perks of autumn. Below are a few pictures I took - hopefully they will be as inspiring to you as they were to me.

 

 

This is not a black and white photo - this is the way it was taken

I'm especially excited about this picture - notice the bee on top of the flower

Do you enjoy fall season? What do you love about it?

Fall - season of renewed hope and commitment

I love spring, when nature awakens and the air itself is saturated with new hope and growth. I love the summer when I feel full of life and ready for anything. And because yes, I prefer heat to cold.

But there's something so special and beautiful about fall that it makes me pause and take a look around, and at the same time also fills me with a sense of new hope and adventures. It also makes me want to jump back into work and studies with both feet and a renewed optimism - writing, fitness, art and other pursuits.

Even though, like any other sane person (grin) I never loved the idea of going back to school after the summer break, I always did feel a sense of excitement at going back to studying. Maybe what I feel now at the beginning of the fall comes from that.

So, dear readers, let's welcome this beautiful season of colors and fresh air with hope and a renewed commitment to our goals and endeavors.

And, as always, look out for new fresh content on this blog.

"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace, as I have seen in one autumnal face."
