Me, Fall Fever, and Thursday Quotes

“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.”-Albert Camus

I’m not sure what it is about this particular year, but I’m experiencing major “fall fever”.  Usually, spring is my favorite time of the year.  If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I’ve tweeted about my desire for the fall season.

The “fever” must be due to my family’s first visit to Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi State Park in Helen, GA last fall.  Anna Ruby Falls is a set of twin waterfalls that lies within the Chattahoochee National Forest.  If you look closely at the top of the picture, the high point of the waterfalls can be seen and is truly breathtaking.

Here are some other shots that we captured while walking along the trail:

If you don’t have “fall fever” after seeing the falls, maybe you will after seeing Unicoi Park which is where Anna Ruby Falls is located.  With the park being over 1,000 acres, there are endless possibilities for beautiful scenery especially during the fall months!

“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.” -Stanley Horowitz
