Rock The Shot Photo Challenge - Elements of Fall

Growing up in Texas, I remember raking leaves into ginormous piles and then jumping around scattering them everywhere.  Living in south Florida we don't really have a fall season. Rarely if ever, do the leaves even change colors. That being the case, this certainly was a challenge on how to create the sense of fall for this month's RTS www.rocktheshotforum.com photo challenge.

This picture was taken two days ago for The Measure Designs fall/winter line. I wanted to add elements of the cold seasons so I incorporated rich colors and a Red Riding Hood theme. What says fall more than a basket of new crop apples for Grandma?
