Fall in Ann Arbor

October 22nd, 2007

Fall is, without question, my favorite season and, call me biased, but it’s also when Ann Arbor is at its beautiful days. It’s my favorite time of year for grabbing the camera, running out and taking zillions of photos of things people have seen many times before but which continue to give me a bit of a seasonal thrill. I’m the guy walking around with her head face pointed up at the trees, truly marveling at the colors of the leaves, wondering how on earth nature pulled it off yet again.

Yesterday was the quintessential fall day — clear blue sky, crispy leaves on the ground — except, perhaps, for the temps in the high 70s which made it a little warmer than is perhaps globally apt at this time of year. Thus, I set out for a long walk, armed with my camera and the self-imposed assignment of snapping things that are orange. (A mission made considerably easier by our proximity to Halloween, I admit.)

Pumpkin season is upon us and my neighborhood is playing its part swimmingly. Here, without further ado, just a smattering of those snapshots:

There. If that doesn’t leave you feeling like fall, you simply can’t be helped.
