Fall is here.....

I love fall....it's my favorite season. The weatherman said that if you wanted to see the fall leaves you had better go soon......and so we did. It was fun seeing all the different colors and hearing the leaves crunch when you walked on them. Now and then you would see a deep red tree among the pines...what contrast!!
It felt good to have the sun on my face and arms. When riding along I love how you hit a cold pocket that takes your breath away. Crisp fall air. The smell brings back so many happy memories of playing in the leaves as a child (and adult).
Oops, forgot to flip this one before I loaded it.A month ago the acorns were so tiny. This time they were bigger, turning brown and popping out of their caps.
Love the reflections in the water. This was taken at our favorite camp spot.....which we didn't camp at this year. I hope we get out more next year.
We found a little clearing that we thought would make a nice camping spot next year. We were scoping it out and talking when Jaycee and Gary noticed the BIGGEST SPIDERS I have ever seen! I'm not exaggerating one bit. This one was at least 3 inches long. It gave us the creeps. Jon kept chasing them.....and Bekkah sat on her machine with her legs up. When we got going again my leg was itching and I had to stop and pull up my pant leg to make sure it wasn't a spider....eek!

The leaves haven't started turning yet here in Memphis. I have about a month to wait. Still I won't have the mountains. I miss just going driving up in the canyon.
