Fall officially starts later tonight and I couldn't be more excited!

There are so many wonderful things about fall -- it cools down, it's okay to start drinking pumpkin flavored lattes and hot chocolate and there's nothing like a good football game!

I really enjoy being outside this time of year because I can wear comfy sweatshirts and I really like taking walks where there are trees all around.  The colors are so beautiful and vibrant.  I've gotten some really cool pictures as the leaves are changing and I think nature looks her absolute best.

I've already seen some changes but according to a UPI article, a recent study claims that the color changes will come later and stay longer.  I hope they stay for quite some time because I'm planning on taking another trip to the Brainerd area yet this fall.  I want to get in some good photos!

What do you like best about heading in to fall?
