“He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding…”
Daniel 2:21
Can’t we all agree that when autumn arrives it brings with it a sense of refreshment and renewal? The air is more crisp (although we have yet to experience that here in the Deep South), the soup is more hearty and the colors more vibrant…all orchestrating together to usher in the season I love! Here in our Appalachian Foothills, there is no shortage of fall foliage…all within an hours drive! Maybe you’ve heard of places like Little River Canyon? What about DeSoto State Park? And the world famous Berry College? Yes, those places are all right here in our backyard…and today, we have dipped into the archives to bring you Autumn In Our Appalachian Foothills! Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Desoto State Park has one of the most beautiful fall palettes I’ve ever seen!

-Terri Guillemets
“Autumn mornings: sunshine and crisp air, birds and calmness, year’s end and day’s beginnings.”
-Terri Guillemets
Just a few miles from our home, Little River Canyon carries the colors of autumn well…from the bright blue skies to the pops of red in the trees!
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.”
–Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”
-Jim Bishop

As you might guess I love fall colors and we are starting to get plenty up this way. It won’t last long though and soon the ground will be wearing the colors.
Linda, I can only imagine how beautiful Maine must be in autumn!
Querida Pam, hoy ha sido un placer muy especial poder observar y disfrutar del colorido otoñal. Yo lo considero como un premio en compensación al calor sofocante del verano.
Observando las fotos he sentido la paz, el deleite de las bellas imágenes de colores casi impensables en la naturaleza como esos tonos azulados que se mezclan con los otros tonos calientes, dorados….hermosísimos.
Algo nuevo he aprendido y es el conocimiento de tu árbol gingko, desconocido parar mí. ¡¡Qué belleza de color!!
Se puede decir que tus post son auténticos poemas en imágenes.
Un abrazo, Dolores
Dear Pam, today was a very special pleasure to observe and enjoy the colorful autumn. I consider it as a compensation award in the sweltering summer heat.
Looking at the pictures I felt peace, the delight of the beautiful images of almost unimaginable colors in nature as those bluish tones that blend with the other hot, golden …. beautiful of tones.
I have learned something new and it is the knowledge of your gingko tree, unknown stop me. ‘What color beauty !!
You can say that your post are authentic poems in pictures.
Hugs, Dolores
Querida Dolores, tan bueno saber de usted! Me alegro de que se podrían introducir para nuestros árboles gingko. Son hermosas en otoño! Bendiciones, dulce amiga! Abrazos, Pam
Dearest Dolores, so good to hear from you! I am glad I could introduce you to our gingko trees. They are beautiful in autumn! Blessings, sweet friend! Hugs, Pam
Oh these photos are absolutely wonderful! 🙂 We are just getting a few chilly mornings here now…still in late summer mode 🙂 I have to cut the darn grass again, lol! 🙂
Thanks, Deb! We are still cutting grass!
Your blog is the first I’ve visited today Pam, and what a glorious start to this finally cool morning! All of your photos are just stunning, and of course the quotes are so wonderful- I’ve not heard the ones about the dead leaves dancing, that truly puts a different twist on the way to look at them! Seeing your sweet kitty made me sad for you ???? but such a nice memory…as a child, my favorite thing to do was rake a big pile of leaves and jump in them. Thank you for this beautiful start to my day!
Jenna
Jenna, thanks so much! Happy Autumn to you, sweet friend!

Thanks, Faith! We are in NE Alabama and very close to the state line…such beauty in this part of our country!
Indeed! I have also lived in NE AL as well. Henegar to be exact, so I am quite familiar with the area. There’s no place like home!
Your photos are incredibly beautiful! What a pretty place to enjoy the fall season with a full range of colors.

Oh fall in Appalachia! There is nothing like it! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
I love your photos and autumnal quotes. Many years ago I moved to Florida and dearly miss autumn. The breathtaking panorama of leaves, the crunch of them, raking them. Leaving the house on a crisp morning and seeing you breath. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for visiting, Iris! I do love living where we enjoy four seasons! Stay safe and blessings!
