The sky and ground and everything in between is a dull, gloomy opposite-of-bright collection of colors in the fall. I love it, though. I love living in the country where we can leave the fallen, crunchy leaves on the ground to pile them and scatter them and enjoy them.

For my birthday, my parents cleaned up my very neglected flower garden, got it ready for the winter, and added splashes of color in the form of potted fall mums. They are a bright spot, for sure.

Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that I’m doing again this year.

Next week’s prompt is SMILE!
