Fall in to Happiness

It's fall here in Salt Lake.. Well at least it is supposed to be. And I have to say, fall is pretty much my favorite season. I love the chilly mornings and evenings but it's still warm enough during the day to get things done. And do I really have to say it? THE LEAVES! I love leaves! Crunchy pretty colored leaves during fall were sometimes the only things that got me to go to class in college (come on, everyone has their incentives). Now when I drive into or out of my neighborhood I have the greatest view. I drive down this small hill and around a corner and the view just opens to you. The street is lined with trees of all different persuasions, which makes my leaf viewing that much better. There are some that are gorgeous deep reds, almost purples. Right next to others that seem to have fire bursting from within, coming to show a bright orange. Then their are the yellows and golds, honestly, you've got to hand it to God; he really knows what he is doing. Now in the background behind my beautiful tree lined street are these majestic mountains. They are splashed with all the fall colors, just a bit more muted, making they seem like a water color painting just hung up for my amusement. You may be asking yourself, this picture can't get any better? Oh but it does! Now the mountains are snow capped! And everyday around 5pm the sky is making this perfect blue ombre. Needless to say my view is breath taking.
I have tried to capture this behind the lens of a camera but it never shows the true beauty. By now I've decided that this picture has been painted for my eyes and not for the eyes of a camera. So if you want to see it for yourself, you must come visit.
Like I said before, fall is my favorite season and I think that is why I chose October for the month of our wedding. So I will leave you will some true fall happiness... A picture of Andy and I on our wedding day.
