Fall Pastoral

Being in a more rural area, there are some beautiful fall sights I wanted to share. I love the changing colors, which are vibrant, though not as brilliant as New England. We took advantage of all the pumpkin patches and hayrides around, and enjoyed seeing the fall harvest of soybeans and corn.
This was in late September, when the leaves just started changing

A very unflattering picture, but a fun hayride with Andy, Ben, and Andy's dad

The foliage near our house

My favorite tree that I always passed to and from our house

A stream near a playground we frequent. Oh, for the days of shortsleeves!
