The best season...

How can you possibly dislike autumn? In the air, there are sweet and fragrant smells of pumpkin, cinnamon and the trees and foliage in Virginia are a complete feast for the eyes. Vibrant colors of gold, orange and red dancing with the cool breeze on hanging limbs. It's my favorite season, the most romantic and human of all. Autumn reminds me of the human spirit - constantly changing colors, shedding layers, and sometimes stripped completely bare, as the leaves and trees at the end of November, right before the winter season arrives.

I love the blogger

anton_petrus, who is one of the most amazing nature photographers on LiveJournal. Of course, his posts generate almost no comments.

On this beautiful autumn day I decided to walk around, starting here at the Lincoln Memorial.

Autumn in Virginia

Autumn is the most magical season to me. In the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast it also offers the chance to view amazing foliage. In the DC area where I live the leaves are only starting to change. However, foliage currently is at its peak in New England states such as Maine and Vermont, considered the prime location in the U.S. to view the magnificent orange and red leaves of autumn. I tried to book a last minute trip to Vermont this weekend, but every bed and breakfast was full. So next year I'll plan ahead.
