The Colors of Fall

I love fall, and this year the colors around our neck of the woods are unusually bright. We always get alot of rain and wind, and the leaves don't last long.
But, this year is different. They are staying longer and getting brighter.

This barn is in our little town. Not smack dab in the middle but right off the road. I have always though it was cute. This morning while I was getting coffee (its right next to it) it was too beautiful to not take a picture. The colors were really bright and I was thinking of my friend in AZ. She would get coffee at the little coffee box too. So I jumped out of my car and took this picture just for her.
This is one of the trees that I grew up looking at. The school yard next door was rimmed with maple trees. The colors were amazing, and we loved to make huge piles of leaves and then jump in them.

This is my beautiful. She loves the leaves so much. Her favorite thing is when they blow off the trees and fall to the ground. Yesterday we were driving down the road, and the wind was blowing. She saw all these leaves flying around and wanted to play in them. So we did. I actually caught this picture with them flying in the air.

Great pictures and nice post. I can't imagine living somewhere where you couldn't see the colors change. It's so different over here but gorgeous just the same. Yellow is the dominant color here - I would love to have more reds.
