Mushrooooms ~

White/brown button mushrooms - the type mostly seen in stores are the only type that I was aware of...


...until this nature trail I took few months ago that I am astonished at the variety of shape, color, size, pattern these fungi comes in.

Pumpkin Celebration...

....this Autumn. This squash has a season for itself :)


Pictures below from our recent visit to a pumpkin patch ... which I saw was customery for many before the Halloween.
Not just to pick pumpkins, but also for those interested in Ghostly adventures at night ;-)



We could walk around the farm to choose and pick our own pumpkins.




These cute trolleys were for our assistance. My little girl enjoyed the ride on it ;-)





Variety in size and price...you choose as per your need and budget !


For those interested on quick pick, there is also a huge selection as in regular store.



Also available are a variety of other squashs and gourds for decorative purpose. While I have only used them for cooking so far, hoping to give a hand decorating it...may be next year :)




Keeping aside the fun of picking pumpkins, these pumpkin farms also have a huge area set up for some fun activities...for adults and children.


This also included a huge corn maze that took nearly an hour for us to complete ! This was indeed an adventure due to the rains which made the path slippery and marshy.
In the same area there are ghostly adventure activities at night. I took excuse of my little girl and escaped the hall of screams ;-)

Falling beauty ~

How beautifully leaves grow old. 
How full of light and color are their last days. 
~John Burroughs





Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
~Albert Camus


My first "fall" experience and absolutely loving it :)
