While doing a brief hike this past weekend I spotted by first brightly-colored autumn leaf! If you know me at all, you know that I am head-over-heels smitten with Autumn. I am a big-time “leafer“. I love the bright-colored leaves, the smell of burning leaves, pumpkins, butternut squash soup, spicy beers, brisk mornings, and potted mums! Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I spotted this leaf….my first sign that my favorite season is around the corner.

What I love about this leaf is that it looks like the red is slowly creeping over the green in the leaf and taking it over.
