Official Good Bye To Fall

On the eve of December 1st, I wanted to take a moment and say an official Good-Bye (for now) to Fall. It was a spectacular Fall this year, with long weeks filled with brilliant colors, beautiful weather, and amazing scenery.





But, no matter how great it would be if Fall could stay year round, one season must give way to the next.



Inevitably change comes...colors fade, leaves fall, and the weather changes.



Ushering in what's to come.



Thank You Fall! See you again, next year.
