This is a year where I am really ready for fall. The summer has been hot and dry and I am looking forward to cooler weather.

We just recently transitioned from summer to fall and I am looking forward to the beautiful fall colors, especially the beautiful leaves.

I know some of you already have beautiful fall colors, but we are always behind here in California.

I really like to see the different colors like these orange leaves from Crawfordsville, Indiana. See my post Fall Leaves for more information about where I saw these leaves. If you are one of my followers that like literature, you will definitely want to know where I took this picture.

Her are some leaves from close to home. This picture was taken a few years ago at Zanussi Park which is near my house. I walk around the perimeter of the park almost every day, so am looking forward to the fall color. We are not quite to when color changes here, but it will be soon.

I am also looking forward to sidewalks covered with leaves. They bring back many memories of playing in leaves when I was a kid.

I think that I caught this tree at the perfect time. It looks like very few leaves have fallen, and it is full of color.Even leaves that are in the middle of changing colors can be beautiful. I really like the pattern of green and brown in this leaf.

Are you looking forward to the colors of fall?
