The fall always has this way of bringing me back to those "Where am I at?" and "Where do I want to be?" type of questions. I don't know why it is, but I have a very hard time looking at the colored saturated mountains and not thinking of how I could be a better person, mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend etc. Perhaps it's because life is going through it's natural changes that my life want to go with it.
Despite popular opinion, I delight in change...especially one as familiar as the leaves changing colors. It's very comforting. Consistant. It provides a cushion to rest my feelings, hopes, and dreams upon. It's a renewal once again to remind myself why it is I do what I do, and how I could do it so much better.
So I'm curious...What does the fall make you think about?

I wish I could say that I have these same feelings as you. Really I just think about all the great winter clothes I get to wear. And the boots. Oh, how I love boots.
Sorry but Spring really is my time of awakening and renewal (which is now for me). How ironic.
I think I used to love fall way much better when I was up at school, like Robyn I would enjoy getting all the magazines and looking up what was next in style...I always loved the seasons and felt happy to still not be freezing...Now Fall is more like "oh no! Summer is gone!" but in a sense I do think that each season is a time to reconnect with oneself and selfanalyse what is happening and take account of what you have done and still want to do! Beautiful picture!
That's a gorgeous photo Amy.
Fall makes me think of being home. I feel like the speed of life from the summer slows down. I love it that kids go back to school and that temperatures get cooler. It also marks the transition into the holidays and hibernation time (staying home more) so I love that as well.
You are so insightful. Right now fall represents to me a time when I can really enjoy being with my family. We have been making an effort to make our time with each other count so we've been participating in all of the fun things there are to do around here in the fall. We've also enjoyed the outdoors together a lot recently. So, I'd have to say that fall, more than any other time, is about building close family bonds, and good memories together.
Your photo today is just breathtaking! Such vibrant colors other than the quaking aspen yellow that we're all used to. Beautiful.
Fall makes me think a lot of scenese like this one. I love love love driving through the canyon in Utah.
Fall also makes me think of traditions and the start of new things b/c it was always the start of school and so much change.
That is such a beautiful picture---I love those Utah mountains!!!
Gorgeous photo. Like Robyn, spring is when I think about renewal and change. Like Jill, Fall is when I think about hibernation. That and the holidays. Once school starts, I feel like I'm on the fast track to Christmas, just one holiday after the next. Plus, I just adore cool weather. Finally, I'm not hot!
