The way fall is supposed to be!

The last week and a half has been near-miserable weather.  Temperature hovering around the freezing point, clouds hanging thick and dark across the sky, sucking all hope and happiness from the world, traditional beautiful October weather a thing to only dream about.  I wasn’t taking my camera outside to get rained and sleeted on.  Heck, I didn’t even want to leave the warm covers of my bed, much less step foot outside!

But then today rolled itself around.  The sun decided to stand its ground and not let those bully clouds dampen its rays.  A great day to rake the front lawn of maple leaves, set just-purchased pumpkins on the stoop, and get some much awaited autumnal photographs.

Thanks, Fall, for deciding to make an appearance!
