We are reaching the peak of the season for changing leaves. My drive to and from classes has become a wonderland of red, orange, yellow, green, and brown. I find myself arguing the logistics of pulling over to take pictures as I cruise by gorgeous trees all dressed up for the chillier weather approaching. We had a reasonable amount of rain this year, so the colors have been vibrant and varied. I love watching the seasons change as we prepare for spooky celebrations — in the midst of a new normal, seeing a traditional sight truly nurtures my soul.
