I love winter, spring, summer and autumn, embracing each for it's unique beauty, and enjoying them in different activities and ways.
Dawn, one of my best girlfriends, gets a day off during the week. Yesterday we went hiking with our cameras ...
Walking down to the waterfalls ...
Dawn has a passion for photography ...
In the middle of the park where everything is green, brown, and gold, the sun found its way through the trees onto the the only splash of red leaves. From a distance it was stunning ...
Everywhere you look there are picturesque scenes you are missing if you don't slow down and take the time to look ...
The leaves are changing and trees are vivid in color. The cool autumn air, trees that look as if they are on fire, means hiking season.
Autumn to me is hiking, cool days with crisp & fresh air, all beverages hot & spiced cider, art shows, warm clothes, white pumpkins when the world appreciates orange, homemade soup, taking my girls in tradition to a pumpkin patch where we stomp through the dirt to pick our perfect pumpkins.
Autumn welcomes the holiday season of Sweetest Day, Halloween, Brooke's birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Forget going out to eat or the movies.
Pack a picnic. Strap on your walking shoes. Start hiking!
