I know that Fall won’t end officially for another month.  But let’s face it, the best part of it is over.  There are no more beautiful leaves on the trees and everyone is thinking about Christmas.

Every day (almost) since the first day of Autumn, I’ve made a picture to share on my blog using my own photographs and suitable quotations.  Just as I did earlier this year with my Spring quote pictures, I thought it would be nice to put them all together in one post along with a little information about each of them.
