we drove up to logan canyon one sunday and we went for the loveliest drive. the leaves were beautiful hints of yellow, green and red. huge pine trees everywhere too. husband was nice and drove me clear up there and we got out and took some pictures. seriously stunning. fall is so pretty.  

^^before the canyon we went and saw an old abandoned house where we took some of our engagements. it really is so pretty. i would have loved to seen it in its prime.^^ 

^^clear at the tip top was some pretty reds and oranges!^^

i love little sunday moments like these.
