Deron and I took a quick trip to the city last week to pick up a few needed things. As we drove down the canyon we took a detour to one of my favorite places to stop and stretch my legs...yes, that would be Whiskey Springs (if you follow my blog...its something I talk about every year~). Its a gorgeous stop ALL of the time, but especially in the fall with the colored leaves hanging from the tree branches and covering the ground. It just makes me want to curl up with a blanket and a good book and lay on the lawn, watching the red and orange leaves float softly to the ground.....I don't, but I want to. 
Deron and I walked up along the hillside to stretch our ever so tired legs...the leaves covered most of the path which was beautiful, as well as fun. They old leaves crunched under our feet and rustled as we walked by...the freshly fallen bright colored leaves were a gorgeous contrast to the "green" leaves that still hung here and there on the branches of the trees........it was like walking in a dreamland!
It still amazes me that leaves can be dark green one day and change to a bright red or orange the next day...........the magic of "mother nature"~
I feel very blessed to live in an area that is both magnificent looking in the spring and summer as it is in the fall. I don't think it gets better than this..........although I am sure there are places EQUALLY as beautiful, I don't think there are many that could beat the beautiful area I get to enjoy day in and day out.
