Fall Fireworks and Autumn Leaves

This tree is just around the corner from where I live. The rest of the year, I barely notice it's there. This time of year it's the most beautiful thing on the street! There's something about the way the light filters down through those gold and red leaves that just glimmers! 

This week, the leaves are just really getting to their best here in the Seattle area. Yesterday, I was driving around mindlessly running errands, oblivious to the beauty of the leaves, and I noticed this lovely Indian couple taking pictures of each other under the trees. They were clearly just awed by the glorious colors! 

It's so easy to forget that not every climate experiences our amazing fall fireworks! If you're lucky enough to live in a place where the leaves say goodbye in their glorious reds and golds, be sure to stop and take it in. In a few weeks, there will be only bare branches. Gather the beauty in where you can!
