15 First Day Of Fall Instagram Caption Ideas That Will Put You In The Mood

Summer 2018 flew by right before our eyes, and in just a few days we can start celebrating the beginning of fall. Though it may not truly start to feel like autumn until October (when the Halloween festivities begin and we start looking forward to Thanksgiving plans), it doesn't hurt to get into the seasonal spirit a little early — hence, why getting your first day of fall Instagram captions ready to go now.

After all, fall starting also means a ton of wonderful photo ops in your future: pumpkin patches, piles of leaves, psuedo-candid shots in cozy sweaters on city streets, and, of course, cute café photos of your brunch and piping hot lattés. It doesn't get much better than that. Of course, behind every great picture is an even greater caption. If you're in a little bit of a rut and have begun to just use a slew of random emojis (I'm guilty as charged) under your picture, read on for some caption inspiration so that you can be prepared when you post your first picture of the season — nothing gets you in the mood for fall quite like the perfect quote that captures the heart of it all.
