Let the live woods wholly bloom like flames; strike the match; let their leaves flare with an autumn cry.

Fun antique store discovery. I don’t think many kids were watching tv dramas about neurosurgeons in the 1960’s but that didn’t stop Transogram from releasing this toy kit. Love the faux alligator leather.

We are fortunate to have one of the oldest, and therefore largest, trees in our tiny development. I appreciate the hell out of it and take daily breaks to stand under its welcoming branches, enjoying the colors. I love this tree.

A day of apple picking, a corn maze, and other fall favorites.

I know it’s trite but, having lived away from real seasons for so many years, the fall color changes are still a magical time of year.

Finally got to see Young Frankenstein in a proper old theater. There’s nothing like laughing with so many people.

Sunset light shining across the front of a small theater named PENN in large red letters across the top of its facade. The marquis in front reads Young Frankenstein October 3 and 4

“Quick!” my wife’s text message read, “Run outside and look at the sky. It’s on fire.”

Sunset over black, silhouetted trees where half of the sky is a cold steel grey and the bottom half is extremely saturated red clouds.

Fall weather encourages exploration, even when it’s an urban view of the Ambassador Bridge.
