After a long, hot summer and the back-to-school rush, it finally feels like fall. There are pumpkins and cinnamon brooms in the grocery stores, I have a PSL in my hand, and... there’s not a single autumn leaf in sight because I live on the gulf coast. I may have to wait a while to don my Ugg boots and be as completely basic as I want to be, but if you live somewhere where the leaves are actually changing, these fall foliage Instagram captions pair perfectly with lovely snaps of the season changing. (I’ll look on with envy for now, but don’t worry — my time will come.)

When gorgeous red, yellow, and orange leaves dot the trees, it’s hard not to capture their beauty for all to see. The next time you need something poetic or inspired to say about your fall foliage photos on social media, this list has you covered. For the pictures of your kids making leaf angels on the ground, close-ups of colorful branches, or a scenic drive down a tree-lined road, there are plenty of autumnal quotes and captions to choose from.
