Autumn really is the superior season, if you ask me. When the cooler months finally roll in, so do chic outerwear looks, apple-picking trips, pumpkin-flavored things, Thanksgiving feasts, and of course, the gorgeous foliage. Naturally, these seasonal pursuits call for plenty of candid—and less-than-candid—photos to be taken and posted.
But after the cute photos have been snapped and selected, settling on a caption can be the most taxing part. It's got to be clever and it's got to be funny, and depending on who you are, it has to be a timely cultural reference. We know, there are so many elements to consider! Luckily, I'm here to ease that burden. Ahead, find 140 (yes, 1-4-0!) fall Instagram caption ideas to accompany your Thanksgiving spreads, nature portraits, and more. The best part? You don't even need to credit me on the grid. Your copy-paste secret is safe with me.
