Fall is my favorite time of the year

I been super busy taking lots of pictures and spending some quality time with my family. 
I will post some of the pictures in the next post. 
And I am editing some more now that I'll also add to that post. 
I haven't really had the time to post anything on here and that upsets me, so I want to try to post more and every week in October. 
I have some Fall photo idea checklists that I'll put below and I want to complete that as well. 
I am going to post those in October, which surprisingly to me, is in just a few days... 
Time really does seem to fly sometimes. Did that even make sense?!
Anywho, I hope to be taking more pictures and posting them on here and on my Flickr. I don't really post on Facebook anymore, at all. And I want to do more on my Instagram as well.
Fingers crossed ♥
Here is that checklist (I don't remember where I found it):

Why do we buy art?!?

When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a painting or a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures.

You are buying days, weeks, months, years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to eat, having enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dog.

You aren't just buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a private moment in someones life. Most importantly, you are buying that artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about; something that makes all of the above worth the fear and doubt; something that puts the life into the living.
