Day 217/365

     Today was a super quiet one work-wise, although I was officially offered an extension on my internship, so I will be in Saginaw until June! It's a big relief. I love my job and I work with some great people, so I'm really glad I get to stay longer. 

     Anyways, before I was on shift, I took Kip for a walk around the apartment complex and took a quick photo of the steadily-growing ground covering of leaves. Quite a few are still hanging in there on the trees, and have started turning this fantastic golden color; it's quite pretty. Today was mostly sunny, until right before our walk it let loose for about fifteen minutes and then abruptly stopped, leaving huge puddles on the easily-flooded sidewalks by my building. 

Day 210/365

     Today one of my assignments was to try and get some photos of the local fall color since it probably won't be around much longer. I'm a sucker for bright and vibrant autumn leaves, and, as much as I love snow and winter, I'll miss them when they're gone. 

Day 202/365

     Fall is definitely here, and I'm extremely happy about that fact. I just hope the leaves stick around for a while longer. 

Day 197/365

     Yesterday the tree with bright red leaves in front of my apartment, (in other words, my favorite tree), started to drop its leaves. They're super pretty, but at the same time it's a little bittersweet because that means the tree will be bare soon... 

Day 181/365

     I spent a much-needed weekend off back home in Ohio, and spent almost all of it with my family. Sunday was spent going out to my mom's cabin and then visiting a few of the wineries out in that area. It was an absolutely beautiful day outside, and it's finally starting to feel like fall!
