The change of summer to fall comes subtly, first sneaking in on a chill night that flirts with frost and then, less subtly, when the leaves begin their magical transformation from lush green to an explosion of red, yellow and orange.
Once Mother Nature lights that fuse, autumn is underway and every day the rich colors of nature's paintbox are splashed across the landscape in a way that no day, or even a moment, is ever the same.
It is a time of crisp days best enjoyed out of doors and nights cool enough to be cozy.
