We all need something to look forward to, and Fall colors are something a lot of us including seniors look forward to every year, for the beauty of it, and what it implies among other things (holidays are coming up, and so we will get to see and be with family again soon).
It's also a time to start slowing down a bit after hectic and hot summer activity.
Nature works in cycles. And just like all living things in nature, our bodies need rest too. Winter is a period of slowdown/inactivity that helps our bodies rest, recuperate and regenerate, so that we can do it all over again next year. Ask the trees that shed their leaves in Fall. Those who don't heed this cycle may fall sick (forcing them to slow down and recuperate).
Fall is a transition time for the body to start that process (Spring is the opposite: it's the time to start gearing up for the most active time of the year). As we get older the more in tune with nature we are, the better it is for our well being (when we are younger our bodies bounce back tremendously quickly, but not so as we age).
Enough said; here are some pictures to celebrate Fall, and not just on trees...
