Fall is in the Air - Does Fall visit Where You Live?

macbill · Sep 10, 2014

I am on the Columbia River, just across from Portland, OR. Gangs of Canadian Geese are appearing more often overhead in their "V"ictory salutes, honking wildly. The tops of some deciduous trees are yellowing: colors really change in the Columbia Gorge, 30 miles East.

I wish. We only have 2 seasons here. Summer, and not so hot summer. :lol:

I lived most of my life in a state that has real seasons. I remember loving the blizzard of '78. :nod:

It visits me and I cannot wait! Fall is my fav. Then, in the winter, the wife and I go looking for bald eagles. I'm sick of summer. I hope to see some geese over my house soon!

Ah, my favorite season! The smell of roasting green chilies is even more heavenly than :leaf:

nopartofme · Sep 10, 2014

Yes. I adore the autumn out here in Appalachia. My favorite time of year…

I also love fall and it's gorgeous here in Michigan. Our leaves are already starting to turn and the farmers are predicting another heavy duty winter. But the crispness in the air is heavenly. Nothing beats eating an apple outside on a fall day.

On my only Fall visit to Michigan, my host took me to an apple cider mill, and I tasted the best ever fresh, unpasteurized apple juice in the world.

My family had a cottage on Young's Lake by Big Rapids MI. I have many fond memories from my time spent there. Used to go every year. During the fall visits, I remember collecting turned leaves and preserving them in contact paper. :tup:

Oh man, I am so jealous of you. I'm a waterfowl hunter that has been living in a desert for the past twenty years. I have to travel a while before I could find "V's" of Canada Geese flying over head. I live in beautiful Las Vegas Nevada and here we get two seasons cold and REALLY F*&%IN HOT :cuss:

! There is a brief span of time between the Hot where it's just nice and warm during the day and cools down at night but that only last for about three weeks. Hopefully once my kids are done with school I can move somewhere that has a real four seasons throughout the year and huge V's of Canada geese flying. :tup:

Love Fall here in P.A. It's kind of windy fall weather right now. Vaked and sittin' on the porch.

DieHard · Sep 10, 2014

2 seasons here like @Vicki said... Hot and HOTTER.

Enchantre · Sep 10, 2014

Been noticing the leaves starting to turn, on our drives back and forth to the Harbor this past week.

I'm not ready for Fall, actually. I need just a little more Summer, please...

smokum · Sep 10, 2014

Preceding 4-5 mos of messy, bitter cold hell :disgust:

But ya... Fall 'is' a beautiful time of year here :love:

Anybody else sick of Corn On The Cob yet ?? :ugh:

I'm in northern Cali and our weather has been all over the place this year. I think it confused the plants because I have yucca plants that are blooming and three large mulberry trees that are dropping leaves. :bang:

I love fall I prefer the cold I love the color change in the trees but most of all I love the harvest time that's right around the corner. My outside girls are getting close. :brow:

I find fall bittersweet. Love the colors and the weather, but hate the thought of late fall/ early winter weather and shortening days. Last winter was brutal.

momofthegoons · Sep 27, 2014

The oranges of fall in Michigan; leaves and construction barrels.

Madcap79 · Sep 27, 2014

The wife and I are going down 'The Great River Road' next weekend to look at the changing leaves. I'll try to post any that are worthwhile.

Nice pic @momofthegoons !

A gaggle of Canadian Geese hanging out in front of my condo.

I live close to a golf coarse and we get geese taking a bit of a rest there in route to where ever they're going. Love their honking.......

We get a tiny little bit of the fall tree beauty here but not much.

One year, I visited Virgina in the fall. Wow.....

Edit: Want some eye candy? Goggle "Virgina Fall" and bring up images.

A drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Autumn is bucket list worthy, IMO.

Wikipedia: "Blue Ridge Parkway" said:
The parkway, which is America's longest linear park, runs for 469 miles (755 km) through twenty-nine Virginia and North Carolina counties, mostly along the Blue Ridge, a major mountain chain that is part of the Appalachian Mountains.

Fall is my favorite time of year. The crisp air, smell of wood smoke, football . . .

Here is an old pic of the tree in my front yard . . .

As some of you know, I live in Wales. So I consider myself very fortunate to live in a country with four seasons - including autumn - or fall as you guys over the pond like to call it....

It's just a pity that all 4 of those seasons are typically characterised by rain here - it just falls at different temperatures!!! :rolleyes:

Seriously though, I'm a lover of all seasons, & autumn has most definitely arrived. I just love its light and smell. I'm also really looking forward to the migratory birds returning soon. I'll be on the lookout for a friendly blackbird who has visited me the last 2 years - Cilla - she's so tame. She sings to get my attention through the window - & she's an absolute sucker for raisins! :nod:

Caligula · Oct 2, 2014

I cant remember the last time I saw real snow. So no, we dont have actual seasons here... just parts of the year where it can actually dip down into the 50s at night! I hate having to wear long pants and shoes. Fuck that! ....wait, what thread is this?

Damn, here in Arcadia, we've had nights dip into the high 20's

Well, I have seen it get into the 40s in extreme cases.
