Whenever I talk to people about their favorite season of the year more often than not they say its fall. What is it about this season of endings that makes it so compelling for so many people? Is it the cooling off that comes as the sun's rays slowly move southward and the days grow shorter? Or is it the scent in the air on an chilly day. Maybe its the pallet of colors that God has prepared for us to enjoy. Mixed with faint traces of burning leaves I am instantly carried back to my childhood and a time when everything in life was different. Safe!
Even though I've thoroughly enjoyed our long hot summer in Illinois I was happy to wake up today to cooler temps. The chill in the air seems to invigorate me in a way that nothing else does. Sure I'm not really looking forward to slogging through all the snow and mush we'll have on our streets all too soon, but if I could have my way there would be a very long and pleasant fall season. Full of color, scent, and feeling.
The light changes at this time of year too. Skies are clearer and bluer. Light coming from the sun seems warmer and cleaner. Its a perfect time for pictures and likely I'll be in the city sometime this week end shooing images for my photography class and taking advantage of this beautiful season of the year.
This is my first post in awhile. More to come and I'm hoping to figure out how to add more pictures or links to another photo website. But one step at a time.
