Fall is My Happy Place

Every single year, I eagerly observe the trees waiting for it to visit.  I walk through the grocery store with a grin on my face as soon as the pumpkins arrive. I plot which scary movies I'll watch on Halloween, and I get all giddy with anticipation when I fill a massive bowl with candy and flip on the porch light.  I brew extra coffee on chilly mornings.  I light cinnamon candles. I utilize both the heater and the air conditioner within a 12 hour span because the warm sunshine gives way to cool nights.  And, of course, I keep my camera close by so I can document the beauty of my favorite season (but don't get too sure of yourself, autumn, I'm known to say that about spring as well).

Gypsy in the Leaves

Apparently I also take fall portraits of my dog because she's super cute lounging in the leaves and I can't help it. What's your favorite season?

I used to live for summer but now I don't tolerate the heat as much as I did as a kid... so I think Spring and Fall are my new favorites for sure! I love all the changes and colors that the seasons bring. Gypsy is growing up to be a beautiful girl too. ;)

Sadly, there is only one season (summer) here in Singapore throughout the years. I was lucky enough to have visited Japan, Hokkaido during fall. It was beautiful and, oh so romantic with maple leaves everywhere at the park. Summer would almost be what we're experiencing in Singapore and winter sounds really cold for me (since I was already half frozen when I was in Japan then). I would love to experience spring someday too!
