The Scent Of Autumn

Autumn is my favorite time of year when all the leaves turn their beautiful bright and vibrant colors as the scent of a crisp cool breeze fills the air. It's a great time for children and adults alike to decorate their homes for the Halloween season, soon to be knocking on doors for tricks or treats. The amazing thing about this time of year is it seems to be calm, cool and inviting as one watches the leaves fall to the ground only to grow once again in the Spring.

Children play in piles of raked leaves, jumping into the middle and smelling the invigorating fragrance of dried leaves swirling around them in the soft wind. The leaves cling to their sweaters as they frolic amongst them in delight while parents watch remembering how fun it used to be when they were small doing this same fun thing. Some parents even join in trying to rekindle a moment of a childhood once lost.

Looking back at my childhood, I too took part in this great adventure jumping into a pile of leaves spreading them around all over the ground below me.I always purchase Autumn scented candles this time of year to have the sweet smell of remembrance that it is my favorite time of year. Soon be to walking through the park on a cool Octobers day I will take some pictures as I stroll through the colored trees surrounding me with such tranquility.

Walking through the park is one the best things to do on an Autumn day, taking pictures capturing the essence of Fall. I have included a slide show of some Pictures I took last year of Autumn in the park. I haven't taken any this year yet but I will post them as soon as I do, hope you enjoy! These pictures were taken by me.
