A new experience of fall

Fall is absolutely my favorite season.  I love the crisp air, the colors (though you Michiganders will say I have yet to see fall colors!), the feeling that something is happening.  Fall actually feels a little mischievous.  Like it has a little twinkle in its eye because it's brisk and energetic and knows something you don't.

Living now in downtown Anchorage, fall has been a whole new experience.  There are crabapple trees and some kind of maple tree or bush galore, so there are REDS (take that Michigan!  :) )  This evening I smelled burning leaves for the first time in my life.  It was wonderful.  It made Andy all wistful.

Here are a few pictures from today.  Not award-winning photography, mind you, but hopefully you'll still enjoy them.

First, here's a video from a short walk Malena and I took this morning.

Some kind of pretty tree



Loved this fence.  Wish the picture had turned out a little more amazing.

These are a couple of beautiful pictures Andy took lastnight.

And this is an adorable picture of Malena trying to figure out how to put her boots on by herself.  :)

I hope you're enjoying fall wherever you are!
