Now that summer days are behind us, it’s time to grab our sweaters and embrace fall hobbies. No, we aren’t talking about your pumpkin spice habit. We’re talking about channeling your inner bird whisperer or taking your wildlife-themed Instagram to the next level. Fall is the perfect time to pick up new hobbies. (For one thing, you can turn many of them into holiday gifts). Where is the best place to pick up a new hyperfixation? Candela. Here are five fall hobbies in Richmond TX!
Five Fall Hobbies in Richmond TX:
For the Birds
Think birdwatching is boring? Think again. Birds are nature’s reality show with all the squabbling and drama you would expect. It’s an easy hobby to get into. All you need are a pair of binoculars, a birdwatching app, and a notebook. You can also bring a camera – in case people don’t believe you saw a greater white-fronted snow goose (trust us, sightings are rare). Candela’s natural beauty provides the perfect backdrop for birdwatching. Just go outside. You can walk our trails or settle down at the pavilion. Other great places to pick up bird trails are our lush parks and yoga lawns.
Snap the Season
Speaking of birds and cameras, why not try crafting an autumn photography portfolio? Fall is the perfect time to snap some nature photos. You don’t even need a fancy camera. A smartphone with a few filters should suffice to make your Instagram or Tumblr posts the talk of the internet. The Axis Amenity Center provides a perfect vantage point for snapping shots of the breathtaking colors of fall. Stand in the pavilion in the morning to catch gorgeous sunrise shots and the outdoor fireplace for sunset snaps. Think colorful leaves, dewdrops on spider webs, and the occasional squirrel. And don’t forget your models. Rouse the family, gather fall leaves, and pose accordingly. Once you’ve captured your masterpiece share your autumn adventures with the world.
Channel Your Food Network Star
Fall offers a cornucopia of seasonal ingredients guaranteed to help you make the most comfortable of comfort foods. Treat yourself and your loved ones to savory stews, heartwarming soups, robust roasts, and enticing cobblers. You can even do a test run of your holiday recipes. Once you’ve mastered the intricacies of butternut squash, apples, cranberries, and pumpkin, gather your friends and host a potluck. You can spread your mini food festival out on the pavilion table or create a fabulous feast in the multipurpose room at the Axis Amenity Center. Don’t forget to lay on the spices. What would fall be without cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice? Fall recipes can be found online and in bookstores. Or just raid your grandmother’s recipe box. We won’t tell.
Fitness is a Hobby
There are many things you can do in the fall and upping your fitness game is one of them. We would argue with the holidays approaching, it’s a necessity. All you have to decide is whether you want to do it indoors or outdoors. For those who prefer their workouts indoors, the fitness center at the Axis Amenity Center is your go-to spot. It’s fully equipped to help you proactively work off those inevitable holiday cookie indulgences. Prefer to take it outdoors? Our yoga lawn will have your downward-facing dog in no time flat. Our trails are perfect for morning runs or Turkey Trot training. And hey, biking enthusiasts, don’t think we’ve forgotten you. Candela’s trails are ideal for a leisurely ride or an intense cycling session. And don’t forget to hit the store. A new workout program deserves fabulous new workout gear.
DIY Fall Crafts
Among the fall hobbies in Richmond, TX available to budding Martha Stewarts is crafting. You can go it alone in your game room with nothing but a glue gun, glitter, and a dream, or gather your crafting buddies and take over the multipurpose room. Don’t forget to share war stories like the time you superglued your fingers together. You can even compare glue gun scars. Candela’s natural beauty can be a source of inspiration and materials. Walk the trails and you are sure to discover autumn leaves, small stones, and feathers. Don’t worry if your DIY fall leaves wreath doesn’t look like the picture in the magazine. You put your blood, sweat, and tears into it so hang it proudly on your front door. Don’t forget pumpkins. There’s still time to hit the patch and load up on some gorgeous gourds because painted, glittered, or bedazzled pumpkins are the ultimate fall canvas.
