Fall is officially here and with it comes the excitement for those who love the changing of the leaves of all that goes with the season.
Within a couple of weeks or so, the leaves will be at their peak in change as the green appearance of summer will evaporate into a blast of oranges, yellows, reds, and golds.
It also begins the countdown of the holiday seasons as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all are lining up for the 2020 year.
Star Photographer Larry Souders is one who loves this season and spends much time capturing the beauty as it seems that God brings out a completely different painting easel just as fall arrives driving people into their cars and onto county backroads to take in all the splendor.
