Fall Reads: The Fellowship of the Ring

The first volume of The Lord of the Rings is one of those books I associate with Fall, going all the way back to the first time I read it in middle school. Rather than writing a review of a book everyone’s already familiar with, today I decided to write up my memories of those Fall evenings spent exploring Middle Earth.

“In the Fall, I absolutely crave adventure, and there are few tales of adventure as good as this introduction to The Lord of the Rings. When the leaves are dropping, I know I can crack a window, make a mug of tea, and set off on a journey through Middle Earth the same way I did all those years ago.”

Golden Days

Here are a handful of photos from the past couple weeks, mostly from my morning hikes in a local park.

I take so many photos and I never share them with anyone. I rarely even look at them again, although it makes me happy when I do. For me, most of the joy comes from the routine: noticing something, quickly framing the subject, then snapping the photo and moving on. It’s a spontaneous pursuit, and one of the few things I can reliably do without over-thinking.

I think it might be good for me to share more of my photos. I’ll get to see them again, and so will you.
