The Bumblebeez: Enjoying Fall

This year's fall season is so much better compared to last year. Last year, most trees stayed green and just lost their leaves during winter. But this year, autumn seems to be more alive and colorful. It still rains once in a while, but not as much as last year. I love waking up to a sunny, cool weather, enjoying colorful foliage outside my windows.

These were taken 2 weeks ago, after Emir's soccer game. We stopped by at Poulsbo old town to have lunch and then took a short walk at a nearby trail. This place is only 10 minutes away from home.

On a sunny day like this, the view can be pretty amazing.

The boys were busy looking for rocks that look like crystals. I don't know why but sometimes they just like to pick up random stuff along the trail and bring them home.

Rose hips from wild rose bushes. Bushes and bushes full of hips can be found along the short trail. Rose hips are the fruit of the rose bush that forms after the blossom dies away. They are edible, but I haven't tried one yet so far.

I don't know what this is but it's pretty so I had to take a picture of it.

There were even some blackberries left. They were pretty good too although most of them have dried out.

Apples! We found an apple tree along the trail and I picked one and tried it later at home. It had a pretty mild taste and crunchier compared to store bought apples, but it was still pretty good.
