How quickly the leaves change! Just compare today's look (photos taken this morning) vs. the posts from last week. In the span of one week, leaves are now a solid reddish-orange -- simply gorgeous. I need to stop rushing into work in the mornings and remember to stop, breathe in the crisp autumn air, and enjoy the colors while they last.

On a random note, see that car in the background? I assumed it was empty because I couldn't make out silhouettes when I glanced over. So I went about my business and started setting up for photos. Then out of nowhere, I heard the engine start and literally jumped a foot in the air because the noise surprised me so bad. Part of me wished I was already in the midst of photo taking -- the outtakes would've been hilarious.
