Being an Arizona native I have missed out on the beauty of fall colors.
The northern part of our state has some fall colors but seems like this time of year is always so busy and I never get a chance to make it up there.
I was able to experience the beauty of the autumn season on a trip to North Carolina last week.
While there we took a road trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway
from North Carolina to Virginia...
passing through beautiful country and watching the leaves fall as we drove. Every turn we made was A M A Z I N G.
Speaking of turns, did I mention I get motion sick?
Especially in the back seat!
Luckily I was prepared and I took one of those wonderful bonine pills so I was able to enjoy every single turn and winding road!
I was told the colors were not that spectacular this year due to lack of summer rain,
but it looked pretty good to me!
This lovely creature was happily munching when we spotted him and stopped the car. I wanted to take his picture but he wouldn't look up until we honked, then he looked up and posed for me.
Okay so why do I live in Arizona??
Because no matter what, there's no place like home!
