Bits and Pieces

Bits and pieces from the past month.
September, October, November and December are my favorite months. I love leaves changing colors. I love all the autumn scented candles. I like drinking Martinelli's Sparkling Cider for no reason at all. I guess I could do this anytime of the year but I usually wait until fall/Christmas time to buy it. I love cozy sweaters. I like finding all the crunchy leaves to step on. I love feeling the crisp air.

Sometimes I really like out of focus photos. I'm not sure why. Something about it seems pleasing to me.

Yellowstone National Park

On September 28th, I went to Yellowstone National Park for the first time! 

I'll admit I am a little biased because I grew up two hours away from Yosemite and that's where I would go as a kid. I think that was my mistake though, I found myself comparing the two parks when I know they are completely different and beautiful in their own ways. (Yosemite is waaay cooler just in case you were curious.) Regardless, Yellowstone is beautiful and I recommend wearing lots of layers if you ever go in September.
