Brown County Fall Foliage

Mid-October in Brown County, Indiana! Ahhhh, what beauty!

Bright orange, yellow, and red vistas as far as the eye can see! Crisp, cool air brings the hint of burning leaves across the county.
                           

Colorful "leaf showers" rain down upon us and swirl across the roads and meadows.  Deer pause to watch us watching them.  Squirrels and chipmunks dash about, gathering walnuts and hickory nuts.

The beauty and wildlife surrounding us is almost too perfect to believe!  How blessed we are to live in such a heavenly haven, where time seems to stand still.
