To Everything there is a Season

To Everything - turn, turn, turn

There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose under heaven.

Thank you to The Byrds for creating a haunting folk tune which stands the test of time, bringing Ecclesiastes 3 to life.

However, as much as I do appreciate change, I sometimes have a difficult time giving up the old and familiar and favorite.

Like Autumn. Michigan in Autumn is unbelievably breathtaking. It has been a particularly beautiful one this year, or we have just been able to be out and enjoy it more, and I hate to file my photographs away just yet. We have seen a few snowflakes, which are admit-ably beautiful, but I don't want to see Fall go.

A time to be born, and a time to die;

a time to plant, and a time to reap

So here is some of the fall harvest from my collection - does anyone else have an image they would like to share? You can send it to me and I will post a Reader's Collection, or you can send a link to your own testimony to the beauty of nature.

Enjoy!

Sandy, this post means all the more to me after looking out my window the past couple of days! I wish it still looked as beautiful and colorful as your 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...
