This Time of Year

You know I love this time of year. Well technically it would have been a couple of weeks ago but Fall seems to have hit later and the colors have been really pretty last week and this. Like this:

And this:

And this:

Now I really wanted to take pictures with people in them, like Sean Michael and Mom and Hector, and I had actually planned on doing that this past weekend. I even took Sean Michael and Mom to the railroad tracks on Saturday, just to discover that the memory card I had in the camera was protected, so I couldn't use it. Darn!! And by then it was already 4ish, and I didn't want to go back home and get a new one, etc etc etc, so we didn't get it done. I figured ok, we'll do it Sunday and Hector will be there too....except it turned out too chilly so we didn't.

As I've driven around these past couple of weeks, a part of me wishes that I had my camera with me to take pictures of all this beautiful nature around me, but then I think I would really rather have people in them and not just trees. But as you see in these pictures, there are no people in them, though I did try to get Sean Michael to get out of the car once so I could have him in one, but he declined. Bummer.

Probably by this weekend all the leaves will be gone and I won't get any pics of the family in the leaves which is just my luck because the weather never seems to want to cooperate with me when I want to take pictures.

Still, of any of the four seasons, I think Fall is my favorite especially when it comes to taking photos and putting me in the mood to get out there with my camera.

If only the weather would be nice......
