Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes... 🍂 Turn and face the leaves! Did you know today is the #FirstDayOfFall? Be-leaf it! Fall into autumn in a park. (Metaphorically speaking. Don’t physically fall.) Change is in the air as nature and people alike get ready for the winter months. (Who’s favorite season is fall?) In some parts of the country, the cool, brisk air of autumn often brings a flash of vibrant colors to the landscape before turning shades of brown. Oh, you live in Florida? It’s still technically fall there too! As the temperatures begin to drop, many animals begin a migratory journey, gather extra food, and put on extra layers. (Don’t we all?) "Chlorophyll? You mean borophyll.” We love changing leaves! Leaf peeping is a popular recreational activity in parks. When viewing fall colors, remember to always be aware of your surroundings and stay safe. 🍁Watch Your Step: Keep your distance from drop offs, find a safe place to take photos, and wait your turn in crowded areas. Only the leave...
