I mean, it was basically a perfect day. Isn't this a pretty picture?

Next we headed over to the pumpkin patch. Nate intensely scouting out the perfect pumpkin:

I was quite fond of these little guys, myself.

But then I found a near perfect one, fit to be carved:

But there were so many to choose from we each took one home. I like to get artsy with the camera sometimes. 

Besides the fun Autumn activities up here, we are at the peak of changing leaves. In fact, I think we are probably past the peak since quite a few have already lost them...but I snapped these pictures one day on my way to work last week. I was totally that crazy girl parking her car and taking random pictures in odd locations, all because I was drooling over the colors. 

Here is our tree-lined street full of golden bliss. 

MUCH better than this shot I took in March, right? ::shudder::

Okay, let's stay in the present. Here is a gorgeous tree across the street a few days ago:

And here it is now, already ditching some of the green:

Love it!

When the sun comes out and hits the leaves it makes me want to cry [slightly dramatic, I know].

On the way to work, I found this guy:

And this bunch at a cemetery. Although it was a little creepy to take pictures here I'm so glad I did---this orange has to be my favorite:

But let's not forget about the yellows:

This could be a postcard, don't you think?

And walking up to the hospital on a picture perfect day:

Fall berries of some sort:

Mmmm, love this one. 

Here is the view from my floor in the hospital. This shot really doesn't do it justice but you get the idea.
