Day 6

It is coming...
It is here...










I love how when it is  about to snow the world outside just has this glow. It is as if Heavenly Father is saying it may snow, be cold, and uncomfortable But, it will be okay.  I love that glow! I love the smell and the barometric pressure (sorry my dad raised a bit of a geek!) before a good storm.



Then after I love the quietness and the puppy prints in the snow.

Day 5

Fall is my favorite time on the lane...

Day 4

 The wind is turning cool
anticipation is on the horizon
Yet I contemplate if I lived this season to the fullest?
Did I cherish each day?
Have I fostered something of worth this day? Especially in the eyes of a child...
Seasons now seem so fleeting just like childhood, you just seem to enjoy a stage or a season then it's gone! You try to hold on and to capture the moment and memory but it's almost like trying to catch the wind...

Day 3

Pick your pumpkins...1...2...3...
I love fall! Orange has always been my favorite color. It just draws my eye and holds it. It is spunky yet grounded. It has an unassuming flair that just makes me happy. I find that orange and I have a lot in common.

Day 2

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY

 Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold.

 Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour.

 Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. 

I know this poem by Frost is about Morning and spring.

Yet every time I see a golden leaf I think of it and remember 

my first photo class at Weber with my friends Annette and Eliza.

I'm thankful for those days and the wonderful and talented 

friends I met. They expanded my mind and my creativity.

Party!

Xadi helping me dig for Quarters for my birthday.

My creepy dessert platter. Eyeballs anyone?

The October birthdays.

HALLOWEEN:

XADI AND I TOOK SOME FRIGHTENING IMAGES....BEWARE!

This is what happens when you go shopping with your BFF's for your birthday to the Dillard's Lingerie Department...

You get super cool and oh so comfy birthday jammies! Thanks Claudia and Celeste! What? Were you thinking something else? Cause that really would be frightening! My kids in there Halloween Jammies! Is it strange that I'm sad that Halloween is over? That and it's Snowing!!!! My Favorite holiday and my riding both over on the same day! DEPRESSING! At least I have candy for the next 24 hours! Then I'm off that and bread until Thanksgiving.

The Ghoul and her Jack-o-lantern!

What do your kids beg for after a night of Trick-or-Treating?

Char- a carrot! Don't worry he usually begs for chips and candy!

I asked Charlie to smile! I love this one!

Pumpkin sad...

Pumpkin Scary...

Pumpkin Screaming....

That's all! Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

My day 2 and 3 photo's will be up later...

Day 1

"The World through My eye." I'm going to do a post a day for the next month of photo's from my world. I've really missed taking still life photo's, so I'm challenging myself to go back to my roots. I also want to further cultivate a spirit of gratitude throughout November- so some may just be photos others will have words. I really hope you enjoy it!

"Stand Together"

"Sometimes we fail to look up."

"It is better to look up."

"Best Friends"

"Always look on the sunny side of life."
