I understand perfectly, Suzanne. The view on my West Virginia mountaintop is breathtaking no matter what the season. But, there is something magical about the Fall.

I found those photographs very moving,so much so ,that Ive come over all poetic.

How I would love to walk with thee in the woods today
Watch the sunlight as it doth play
Among the leaves and in your hair
And on return,if you would risk it
Make me a Honey-Pecan Biscuit

These photos were a great way to start a cold, snowy Sunday morning. Since becoming aware of your blog it has become my early morning routine. You are truly blessed with your children, farm and all the critters. Euni in Colorado

I went to college in WV. I moved to Tennessee because of the same beauty. I wish my photos would do it justice like yours. You have quite the eye.

Hey Suzanne!

I think we live in the most beautiful state there is! I also think that Fall is way more beautiful and colorful than the Spring is around here.

So beautiful! You should look into getting some of your photos printed and sell them. I could just imagine a wall of these pictures in my rooms.

Absolutely breathtaking. For a few moments here I was back 15 years ago when I was still able to hike through the woods and in the mountains in the Fall.

Hey, I was doing the same thing today–taking pictures of the perfect sunshine on our colorful leaves. And dried corn in the fields. And tunnels of green bushes with red berries.

You have such a great eye for composition! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photos, it looks so amazing there. I love our Colorado mountains but we didn’t have much color for fall this year. The snows came too early for it. I have, however, had the pleasure of enjoying fall thanks to you and others posting their photos. So thank you. I love fall, it is my favorite season.

Try this again after registering. I just loved this!!! I live at 6,000 ft in the White mountains of Arizona. We have juniper and a beauty of it’s own. Higher up we have Aspens that turn yellow and my husband takes me up there in the fall to see the color.
These pictures made me feel as if I was there walking and looking at the trees and the color.
THANKS

Nina
