For those of us who have called this part of America home for centuries, this is an auspicious time like none other. Autumn brings a unique magic all its own. Beholding the change of seasons and the magnificent colors displays is enough to leave anyone speechless. I was amazed to notice that the grey skies seemed to accentuate the bursts of color around me.
All I could do was wander, gaze and take it all in.
