Autumn is my absolute favorite time of the year, with the crisp air and the crunching of leaves below my feet. Near where I grew up, there was this grove of maple trees that was beautiful in all seasons, especially the Fall. It was like a secret place for me. A hiking trail would meander through the forest, and around a bend, the trail opened up to a canopy of vibrant maple trees. A small stream would trickle through there and the chirps of the chickadees would fill the air. I would intentionally get lost here.
