As I mentioned earlier in the week, it's been raining here for a week. Literally! It's nice today (awesomely nice, actually), which I think was kicked off by an oddly delicious pink sky last night. I had been in the back of the house working in my home office, which is surrounded by trees and doesn't get much light in the summer, spring, and fall. Back there, I figured it was still just another rainy day. But when I emerged around 6pm, the front of our house was literally illuminated with some majestical autumn glow.
The sky was pink (local sailors delighted), and somehow the pinkness from the sky was bouncing off of the changing leaves in a way that just made them the most brilliant things I've ever seen. Garret went and got the camera, and I honestly had no idea a camera could ever do this justice, but it pretty much did.
These photos aren't doctored at all; it was really this colorful. What they don't capture is how unmistakably quiet and cozy and warm the air was. It was kind of like fall was hugging us.

| This one is my favorite. Our driveway, which in this iteration looks to me like a Robert Frost-esque path worth traveling. |

| The fog you see above those power lines was emanating from a distant mountain. When the sky is just right, you can see a mountainous skyline between these two trees in our yard. |
