It is fall. I love this time of year! It is getting colder, my wife is making soup, and now people don’t make fun of me for drinking hot beverages when it’s 90 degrees outside.
I even like Iowa this time of year, because it has some nice trees that turn colors other than brown or light green. Today, Ryan and I took a walk all around the woods at Saylorville Lake to take some pictures. I think next weekend will be the peak time for leaf colorage, but here are a few pictures of our trip. But first, some snow:
That’s right, yesterday, October 9th, we got some snow. Not the 6 inches that Omaha got, but we did get some. I was happy, but I think I would like more of fall first. Instead of coming early, winter can go late, so maybe next year we can go from winter into spring and then into fall, skipping summer all together. Here is a picture of Rosie “enjoying” the snow (not):
OK, now for fall:
Some more of the woods:
I really like these next two pictures for some reason:
These were taken near the outdoor butterfly garden at Saylorville Lake. No butterflies out this time of year, or flowers, but nice leaves!
Ryan brought our other, less expensive digital camera along and took some pictures with me. It was fun to do one of my favorite hobbies with him! I think Erin might be posting some of them sometime, if not I will soon. Happy Fall everyone!
Great pictures, Son!! Can’t wait to see Ryan’s. Hope they are as great as your’s are!!
I agree we could skip summer entirely, who needs it?! Here the trees are turning beautiful! Lots of bright red and orange! gorgeous pictures! You should have a photo gallery in your house and sell tickets!
