Fall Fun Series: Autumn Inspiration

This may be clichè, but one of the things I look forward to most about Fall every year is the brightly colored foliage. The turning of the leaves only seems to last a few weeks in my neck of the woods, so I view it with relish. The gorgeous colors have always inspired me and I even bonded over them and made a lifelong friend.

As a junior in high school I took a photography class which began a love afair with viewing the world through a creative lens. We would share our 35mm film cameras with a partner, so I partnered up with an acquaintance and we spent 45 minutes of our day all school year walking around taking photos of the natural beauty on campus and bonding over our many shared interests. We also had AP English together and here we were dressing up as favorite literary characters (Catherine and Young Catherine from Wuthering Heights.) 

This person is still my good friend today and we get together every couple months and do something fun. I don't know if we would have become so close if not for this bonding time beneath the canopied splendor of Autumn.

One of our favorite things to photograph was the natural color show going on up in the trees. I have some amazing print outs of some of those photos tucked away in storage, but here's a very similar one I took at a later date.

Here's a little collage of some of my favorite fall leaves Pinterest images. I hope the gorgeous colors and shapes inspire and uplift you as much as they did me.
