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!

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...

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.

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...
