Sunday afternoon, I was walking around my backyard and having one of those moments where everything was beautiful—the bright blue sky, the leaves of every color imaginable, the rocky gray stones that surround our fire pit, the spiky needles of the new evergreens Daniel just planted, the olive green house that belongs all to us—and it just didn't seem fair to let that moment pass without taking a photo to capture it.
I know that not every person who reads this blog will get to experience the bright leaves and changing of the seasons, so here's a little view of what the maples in my Idaho backyard are doing at this very moment. It's truly beautiful and makes me appreciate every little thing we have.
I don't know what it is about these colorful little leaves, but they make me think. They make me grateful. They warm my heart. And they bring a smile to my face. When you take a moment to appreciate the little things & the beauty they behold, isn't it amazing how everything else begins to get just a little bit better? Today is a good day.

It's like fire in the sky. Beautiful!
Wow those are vibrant colors! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh, those colors are breathtaking. We don't have changing colors like that here so I'm always in awe when I see trees like that. Makes me wish I could experience fall in New England (or Idaho, apparently! ;))
OMG these photos are gorgeous! I love fall so much!
Sure looks beautiful! I've always wanted to visit Boise, and this just makes me want to visit even more!
That is beautiful. Just look at those photos!!
I luv these photographs!! You make ordinary leaves look very beautiful lol xx
I'm so thankful that it's all I need to take a step back and appreciate it all :) Makes it easy.
Yes it is! Didn't think about it like that... love it!
I forget what it's like to live in a place where the trees don't change... I kind of miss the warmer weather, but do definitely enjoy the colors.
Reason #320... you'll have to just come sometime!
Thanks Laura :) Sometimes I feel like such an amateur, but I'm very glad you appreciate them :)
What gorgeous fall foliage!

Beautiful! I love the colors of Fall, and your photos so beautifully capture that!
Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year for all the reasons you've mentioned. I think the burst of color and slight chill just brings out the best in me! Love!

It's amazing where how there is beauty all around us we only have to stop and look to appreciate it. Fall is my big reminder of that. The leaves are almost screaming to stop and look at them.
Strong colors, great leaves... sometimes we miss the little things and you have not, thank you for sharing.

Very pretty!
I love fall colors, those are just beautiful!
Thanks so much, Kelly. I'm in love with it, too. I just don't want the leaves to fall!
Thanks so much, Lydia. I always tell myself I only like summer, but then when fall comes around I'm always awe-stricken at the beauty!
Yep! Not sure what it is, but when the layers come on, my smile comes out!
Yes they are! They're like, "You better take my photo before I fall, do you hear me?" And they don't give us very long, do they? :)
Jeremy, thank you so much. Glad you have an appreciation for the little things as well. Very glad you stopped by!
so beautiful! we don't get a lot of leaves changing down here in Texas and sometimes i forget just how beautiful they are!
Sometimes I think it would be nice to live in a place where it stays green all year!
Love these pictures! Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Becca :) So glad you like them. Hoping you're doing well!
