Reflections

While I am wishing to be here....



I am actually looking at this....


It's time to move from summer to fall, apparently. The calendar says it's September, and I do love autumn, but I just don't think I'm ready yet. It means going through the wardrobe and switching out clothes. But in Michigan it also means don't get all your warmer clothes out as there will still be warm days this month.

September also makes me think of holidays! Crafts, baking, family times....lots of activity. The cider mill will open soon and I love those crisp apples and the smell of baked goods.

Is anyone else thinking ahead already?

Summer rocks but there is something about autumn too, the leaves and the hazey sunshine...!

I longed for the Autumn colours myself and got some great Autumn shots. Now Spring is upon us - isn't that funny.

Sandy ...nice pictures and I like your words as well. I can't wait for Autumn and by the looks of the leaves..you all are quite ahead of us in the turning. We won't peak until about the 3rd week in October.

Have a great holiday weekend.

I am so giddy for autumn... I love pumpkin patches, and holidays and gatherings, and changing clothes. We don't feel the change as dramatic here in S. California, though.
Come over and enter my giveaway! :)

Yes, I love the fall! Except I'm moving from California to New Hampshire for school, and I'm a little bit terrified of the cold there =)

Kaytee- I love the fall so much, but do NOT like the winter which follows. New Hampshire's beauty will help you through. Enjoy! And take lots of photos!

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr...
