Southern Fall Colors

So, it is officially Autumn! Here are some pictures I have taken during Autumns of the past. It is still too early for fall color here, but, I love the beautiful colors when they get here.

Gorgeous!

This sounds delicious. Let me know what you think!

  • -1 cup milk
  • 1 Granny Smith apple

    Oh, such beautiful photos! The people who live without the colorful, changing leaves don’t know what they’re missing in their lives!
    I’ve GOT to try the Snickers Salad – it must be healthy, after all, salads are good for you, right? LOL!

    I was listening to a Martha Stewart program on Sirius this morning when they were talking about fall foliage. It made me think of our beautiful autumns in Arkansas. I just know that they rival any anywhere. Thanks for showcasing some of our beauty. Have you been to the new lodge at Mt. Magazine in the fall yet? Oh, my goodness. I would love for you to join me for Crock Pot Wednesday at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. Also, I am thinking about organizing an Arkansas Bloggers group. Would you be interested?

    The Snicker Salad is one of my Hubby’s favorites to make. It was a family reg at holidays when he grew up. 🙂

    What gorgeous fall photos. I miss fall in the eastern US. Out forests in Oregon are beautiful but they are mostly conifers and we don’t get a lot of fall color. I hope you are having a wonderful day.

    Wow! I wish we had some fall color here in TX. We just had a cool front blow in last night that dropped the temps from 96 to 62. If we can keep some of this cooler weather around perhaps we’ll see some changes in the trees. Of course it will never be as glorious as your fall color. Thanks for sharing. ~ Sarah
