Falliage

Usually at this point during the year, I lament the fact how summer ended much too quickly and how September has all but evaporated and how I just can't quite get over the fact that the year is coming to an end, because, wow, I sure haven't gotten half of what I was aiming to accomplish crossed off my annual to-do list (which often doubles as my New Year's resolutions).

While most of these sentiments endure in 2012, I have recently found myself curiously excited--punctuated with moments of uncontainable giddiness--with regards to the advent of autumn.

While I'm trying to extrapolate some sort of poetic wisdom from this, I realize that I can't seem to exactly pinpoint why I feel this way.

But, it is not an unpleasant state to be in.

So, I'm going with it.

Kinda like I'd go with it if someone took me for a ride up the canyon to experience fall flavors in this little beauty.
