You Capture: Fall

I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I love Fall because of all the fall-ish things, like turning leaves, apple cider, crisp nights, and Halloween (I am torn between being a cave woman and a flapper--thoughts?). But I hate Fall because WINTER comes next, and I hate winter. HATE HATE HATE. If Spring followed Fall, Fall and I would be BFFs, but unfortunately, Fall is like the beginning of the end for me.

Fall to me means orange and yellow and red flowers (and yes, even though I'm wearing a tank top, it was technically fall).

I love mums because they bloom when everything else is dying, so I was incredibly excited to find a good deal on mums at the farmer's market.

I also found these flowers, but I don't know what they are called. Either way, they were 2 bouquets for $5 and look so pretty arranged in a vase and definitely seem like fall to me.

Fall also means crunching leaves at the playground and wearing new red jackets.

Finally, Fall means desserts like cobblers and crumbles filled with apples and late-harvest berries. I love desserts. This one was excellent, and I inhaled my piece even though I'd just eaten a cream puff (I may or may not have come across a bunch of cream puffs this weekend and bought all of them at once, and thus have been eating cream puffs EVERY.SINGLE.DAY, like even for breakfast)!

Stefany said...

Flowers are gorgeous! You look fantastic (bitch... okay, not really... but come on! You look too good to have a baby that small).

Oh, and so not cool to have such yummy looking desserts on blog posts.

I think you are evil and mean... NOT! (I'm still trying to bring it back)

I love the beautiful mom and baby surrounded by beautiful flowers. I also love mums, the rich golden colors always make me happy.

Bacardi Mama said...

Did you buy those flowers at the European Market? I'm sure I saw them there. I almost bought some.

Love mums! And beautiful shots! I love them!

Abra said...

Perfect.

And I find it funny that we both wrote about how much we wish winter would be skipped. Ha.

What's for Supper? said...

I feel the same way about fall. HATE WINTER. I love the first picture. Your wrap/sling matches the flowers pefectly.

OMG, You and Tommy are absolutely precious together. And I love fall. I don't mind winter, but if it could just go back and forth between fall and spring, I would be happy. I don't like spring because summer follows.

Beautiful fall shots!

Tina said...

Very nice Fall pictures. I am with you on hating winter! Seriously, it lasts way too long! Oh and I love mums too for the very same reason!

Chocolate Girl said...

Beautiful, beautiful pictures. And, um, could I have some of that cobbler? Please?

Boy Crazy said...

i love the first photo. my third baby lived in his pouch, but he's getting so big I can only use it in the hip carry position these days. :(

That bouquet is gorgeous. You've inspired me to go out and get some fall flowers for the house.

Susan Berlien (warmchocmilk) said...

Yum! I ready for fall desserts!

Whimsical Creations said...

Great captures!! MMmmmm desserts.

I am not a huge fan of winter, either.

Your little ones are adorable!

Cameron said...

Okay, I'm going to Costco now to see if they still have any berries to make a cobbler! Thanks a lot! :) Since I'm *not* breastfeeding I can't eat cobbler and cream puffs all the time... but it's fall and that cobbler looks delicious! :)

Mrs Soup said...

Those flowers are so beautiful!

mommy boo of two said...

My Mom and I saw those same flowers at the European Market over the weekend. They're fun looking. Great fall captures:) He's getting so big!

~Mendie~ said...

Vixen said...

I love fall too. Those flowers a wonderful. I wonder if it is too late to plant some mums?

I would go with flapper. It just sounds fun. Great pictures.

Ashley said...

Looks like Fall to me! The colors are great!

ZDub said...

Such great shots! I love the flowers! (And the babies!)

Stillmary said...

Definitely a flapper! Your pictures are wonderful and I share your ambivalent feelings about Fall. (Don't you wish you'd known what next week's You Capture was before you posted the brilliantly red flower picture? lol) Anyway, nice job. Now I have to go find a cobbler or crisp recipe.

The Animator's Wife said...

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Yum.

nice job!

Lorena said...

These photos are lovely! =)

InTheFastLane said...

Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, the fleece, the sweaters and the cobbler. Yum! Great pictures!

keli.h said...

Dude, we are ON THE SAME PAGE in regards to fall ---> winter. Ugh. Winter is the devil. Winter should be banned from the Earth.

But I am loving these pics!! That mum picture is deeeee-vine!

Mommy Mo said...

Erin, you truly are BEAUTIFUL.

Saj said...

Beautiful shots! And when you find a place where you can go from fall to spring, let me know 'cuz I want to go there too! I'm SO not ready for winter!

Sharon - Mom Generations said...

Your photos are what Fall is all about... even the tank top! I especially love the photo of Luke. I LOVE back shots. I am the taker of back shots. They capture the essence of a person. I love his gait, his shoes, his new red jacket. What is he thinking? A moment forever captured. Overwhelming joy!

Mimi's Toes said...

These colors are just beautiful, including the subjects!
I wanted to thank you for being such a great friend to my baby girl Steph! She is truly blessed to have you ladies in her life...Hugs to you!
