Well hello autumn! 

Today was both The Changing of the Maples Ceremony on the quad and Apple Day in the caf. Can you get any more fall than that?

Just a few reasons I'm falling for fall:

• Apple cider: I don't actually enjoy it, but the concept is so appealing
• Pumpkins: What is it with those orange gourds that is so endearing?
  
• Harvest time and corn mazes
  
• The color of the changing maples: Its a vibrancy I just cannot seem to capture with a camera. Any tips?
  
• Halloween! I love the trick-or-treaters, the candy corn, the costumes... So fun
• Thanksgiving: More on this come November
  
• The scents of ripe apples, fallen leaves, and smoke curling out of a chimney

And I loved these fading flowers this autumn morning...
