Weekend Project – Early Fall Colors

It’s in the air already–the subtle changing of the seasons. Last weekend we asked our Instagram community to get out and capture the early signs of fall.

We love the variety of all the different regions we saw. From the beautiful golden leaves in the Rockies, to the fiery red lichen and shrubs of Alaska, to the foggy mountain peaks of the northwest–it’s a collage of natures’ finest.

Thanks to everyone who took the challenge to get out and adventure last weekend. We’re featuring a few of our favorites here. Enjoy!
