Fall Colors

 

The best thing about fall is all the colors. In Kansas the colors last longer than what I'm used to from Denmark and you often see gorgeous trio-colored trees like this one outside my apartment. I snatched a couple of leaves to arrange with matching pumpkin macarons and pumpkin carvings.
