Some of My Favorite Autumn Images
Greetings from the Orlando Airport! Even though it is early October, it is still hot and humid here in this part of Florida. With a long wait until my flight to Phoenix departs, I am at the Admiral’s Club overlooking the tarmac with multiple planes coming and going under the heavy and moody Florida sky. So what better way to get into the Fall/Autumn mood than sharing some of my favorite images of the season.
Pinterest~Front Porches
I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. For me, once I get on their platform, it tends to be a bit of a rabbit hole. However, you can find SO many ideas and tips that the love part outweighs the other. If you don’t follow me on Pinterest, consider doing so as I have over 200 images saved in my “Everything Fall and Autumn” folder (@lifeatbellaterra).
I love looking at other peoples’ homes and can’t get enough ideas from some of these exterior front door shots. There are so many ways to gussy up your front entrance in the fall. The added bonus is that I keep my fall decor up until Thanksgiving (unlike most bloggers who are already onto Christmas).
With that strong pop of color from the red chrysanthemums, isn’t this entrance just magical? The corn stalks perfectly draws your eye right up to the front door.
Pinterest~Food
With Halloween occurring this month, there are many ways to theme your snack boards or charcuterie trays with some spooky touches.
A simple spider web design onto of your dip or guacamole, can transform a typical snack tray to something spectacular. For more seasonal trays, click here.
Fall is the time of year to enjoy seasonal squashes~like this Maple Pecan Roast Acorn Squash.
After a long and hot summer, I love turning on the oven and filling the kitchen with wonderful cooking and baking smells. It’s time to prepare roasts and use seasonal ingredients in abundance such as apples and apple cider. I always find great recipes from Tieghan from Half Baked Harvest like this Fall Harvest Cider Roasted Chicken with Walnut Goat Cheese and Grapes.
Do you have a favorite fall recipe? My recipe for Apple Cider Donuts is our way to celebrate the start of fall. Baked and full of apple cider goodness, these are always a special treat on the weekends.
Favorite Autumn Photos
It’s hard to believe I took this photo on my old iPhone during a morning walk in Simsbury, Connecticut in 2019. It is not enhanced~ just plain old gorgeous fall colors!
On that same trip we toured many towns in New England, which allows me to capture all these seasonal photos.
Poland is on the travel bucket list, and look how magical this park is in the fall in Lodz, Poland.
The link to this photo doesn’t work, but this is a classic, autumn photo I’ve seen many times on the internet.
As I wind up this wonderful trip with good girl friends, I am reminded of how life is full of blessings. Can’t wait to get home and see my family, sleep in my own bed, pet my cat, feed my chickens and reminisce about the laughter and love I experienced on this trip.
