These First Days Of Fall! :)

 As much as I always wish Summer could stay a little longer, when Fall arrives I embrace her with a full heart! :)

 Her colors start as a whisper, and increase with each additional warm day and chilly night! :)

 Each year I await the arrival of the Juncos! When they appear I know that Fall is truly here! :) This year they showed up sooner than usual! After our long, dry Summer, I hope that is an indication of upcoming snow this Winter! :)

 Everywhere there are touches of color! :)

 Some soft ...

 and some bright! :)

 Nature's lighting takes on a new, exciting feel! :)

 It can be spell binding! :)

 Have I mentioned the Color!? :)

 The nights are now chilly, and the days are very warm, and pleasant! :)

 The felines congregate in the yard, enjoying the comfort of Fall! :)

 Even plant life responds to the comfortable temperatures and there's a feeling of extra oxygen in the air! :)

 Many leaves will continue to brighten in color with the weeks to come! :)

 The early mornings quietly appear in an intriguing blanket of fog! :)

As the sun comes up the felines assemble on the deck, where I will see them and be reminded to bring them food and fresh water! :)
I hope you are all enjoying the new season, as I am! :)
There's something restful and inspiring about these first days of Fall! :)
