fall.....aaaahhhhh....

I have four very favorite places to go in the fall, Shenandoah National Park, Brookside Gardens (Mountgomery County Maryland Park), Harper's Ferry West Virginia and my house.

Last Wednesday Dale and I went to Brookside Garden's for a picnic lunch and to enjoy the beautiful fall colors, which were at their peak. (no camera, so no pictures :(

Saturday the sun showed it's afternoon face and I went outside to enjoy the beautiful colors (I brought my camera with me this time:)

Today we drove out to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia to enjoy the fall colors. They were truely beautiful! (Again I forgot my camera, so so sorry:(

I have to admit, I am the biggest whiner when summer is over! and Every year about this time, when summer is a distant memory, and my routine is in full swing, and the beautiful fall colors are here, I feel calm and peaceful and can't remember ever being anxious about saying bye to summer!

Below are some of the shots I took around the house....

Beautiful colors around your home! I love Shenandoah National Park too! I think I've been there like 5 times in the past year. Brookside Garden's looks very beautiful too. I'll have to check it out.

I LOVE the fall in Maryland. We haven't had enough sun to really enjoy it but the trees are even beautiful in cloudy weather or rain.

BEAUTIFUL pictures!! I miss the eastern autumns so much! There are very few places around here where I can go to enjoy the fall colors and the wind blows so much that the colored leaves last an even shorter amount of time. Thanks for sharing!
