"Don't fear the changes in life. Embrace them!" Change can be a challenge, but it can also help one to grow and thrive. When faced with changes that seem frightening, think about the beauty of the fall colors. They may not last long, but memories of them can last, especially if you take photos of scenes that are beautiful for you. Don't worry about whether others will like them because if you like them that is what is most important. Save your fall photos as wallpaper for your devices and look at them after the colors are gone and branches are bare.  “Nothing endures but change.” - Heraclitus
