It’s Monday’s Muse time with Robin at Cinnamon and Honey. If you don’t know what Monday’s Muse is head over to Robin’s and check it out. This past week I wanted to get out and take some pictures of the fall colors before they disappear. Cycling Papa and I took Chick to Valley Forge Park and captured the following.
Fall is my favorite time of year because of the changing colors on the trees. Each year I find myself declaring this year and this tree the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Until the next year comes along and I end up saying the exact same thing I said the year before.
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
Do you enjoy the change of seasons? What does fall look like where you live?
For more Monday’s Muse head over to Cinnamon and Honey and see what else is inspiring people today.
Like you, I love fall.Around us, the colours change in September and early October. Last weekend we lost all our leaves in one shot after a deep frost.

Great muse! These are gorgeous shots! The Valley Forge area is really pretty this time of year. Do you ever get out to Brandywine Valley? Not sure how far away that is from you but I've heard it's beautiful.I love fall too… I have to leave my local urban area to experience the changing seasons but it's so worth it!
