Autumn beauty

These have been taken the past couple of falls. The past couple of weeks, the trees have turned beautiful - I have taken some pictures but am still trying to locate the cable to get my photos from my camera to the computer, so hopefully those will be posted soon!

Happy Fall! I hope it's pretty where you are!
