A sudden pile of pretty-shaped leaves, as we stepped outside...
The cool, rough pattern of an old tree trunk (I love old trees)...
Mother Nature's last splash of red, still hanging on...
A stone marking the route of George Washington's march by night to a battle against the British in 1777...
{I love that almost 250 years later, an American and a Brit would stumble on this American-British war site, during a peaceful walk in the woods, hand-in-hand, in love.}
~ Wishing you a peaceful week ahead, full of sweet, little surprises! ~
Trees are kindred spirits! Walks with the ones you love are the very best.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and interesting photos!
ReplyDeleteThat old tree trunk is pretty spectacular. And how I miss brightly colored leaves! We get a little of that here in northern California, but it's nothing like the south, where the trees are a veritable rainbow!

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! It looks nothing like that here. It looks lifeless and cold. Those pictures are so beautiful and full of joy! I miss fall already.
ReplyDeleteWhenever we get out in the mountains I am ever so much more thankful for my sight and sense of smell. Nature is a real treasure in itself!

ReplyDeleteLove the angle of the tree trunk. I enjoy being outdoors, breathing fresh air. I like your comment about the last photo..An american and a Brit walking hand -in-hand".
ReplyDeleteI love the photography, it's truly inspiring. Did you take them yourself?
ReplyDeleteHi mice_aliling, thanks so much! Yes, I took these over the weekend - it's my budget point-and-shoot camera, nothing fancy :)
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, especially the tree trunk. You're making me home sick. There aren't very many trees down south here.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a fabulous week Jude!
