"Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the hills, a torch flung to the trees."- Faith Baldwin
What a blessing it is to live in Middle Tennessee! Autumn in these hills is quite a spectacle! Vibrant reds, oranges, yellows and browns, and I've been able to witness it for 3 years!
I love the chorus of color that accompanies the church steeples here as they sing the praises of another glorious fall day.
After a few days of beautiful weather, it didn't take long before I was doing what I love to do, seeking out the back roads and the countryside. Every turn brings a new surprise, even for an experienced leaf peeper like me.
The people who work the land here shaped it into a fascinating mix of old and new that is uniquely Middle Tennessee. Thanks to the abundance of rocks that seems to sprout relentlessly from the land, people built miles and miles of picturesque stone walls.
Some of these walls guide you along idyllic country roads, others disappear into the new growth woodlands, croplands and pastures.
I love how the blazing trees and the red barn vie for attention.
Franklin, Tennessee, a beautiful place to put down roots.
