Autumn: Sunlit Dreams

It was a sunlit afternoon
the little boy sat on the lawn
watching the leaves swirl around.
They called to him,
“come here, play with us.”
So he did.

Autumn: Sunlit Dreams

A Perfect Autumn Day - Memorial Page

It was a sunny and breezy day, ideal weather for a walk. Mom came to visit so we took the kids to the creek and Smithville Park. The trees looked so beautiful with their green, brown, gold, yellow, rusty leaves. Nov. 2, 2005

On Saturday, Daddy was raking the fallen leaves - Kaylie offered to help. She played with the garbage bag meant to hold the leaves, then ran up and down the sidewalk filling the bag with air, all while waiting for Daddy to gather them up in a pile so she could jump in them. She did everything, but help. :)

Good Times / Autumn Afternoon / Bearsgarten

Eastern Grey Squirrel

(Let me just tell you that I love wild life) I think they are waiting for an invitation to come into my house for tea or scones.

As of late, I can usually count on a visit from at least 1 of the 3 squirrels that call Mario’s backyard home. Their modus operandi is to wait for me to throw out bread for the birds. As soon as they see the birds pecking away, they rush to chase them away so they can steal their food. The little rascals grab as much food as they can, then run out of sight to eat, all the while keeping an eye on me. I sit by my backdoor barely inches away from them. Feb. 2, 2009

Flitting Fall Faeries Collection With Everything In It By Lorie Davison at Scrapbook-Graphics

Here's your collection for all things fall. There are scenes you can create here that might look exactly like your back yard in October. There are others that could only be found in very rare and special back yards. I've included all you will need to create your own wild mushroom teaparty, cups, teapot, steam, faerie friends, bug friends, smoke swirls, and mushflowerums (dangling flowers that look like they are related to a mushroom.) This project was a whole lot of fun. I like the idea that there could be little beings out in the forest having a tea party in a ring of mushrooms. I hope you enjoy! Everything has been plucked, taste tested, painted, drawn, photographed, and sweetly tweeked for your artistic pleasure!

I really like the rosy cheeks and warmth of this photo

Smithville Lake in full Autumn glory

Macro shot...I didn't even know my camera had that feature. It pays to read the manual. :)

Today was a great day...the temp. reached 80 degrees F. I took the kids to the farm to pick out their pumpkins. Went to the farmer's market but didn't stay as the place was jam packed and couldn't find a parking spot. I spent 20 minutes trying to get out of the place. Then took the kids to the lake for a walk and leaf picking. The colors are so vibrant! Anyway, here are a few of the shots I took today.

Before I forget, guess where I went yesterday... guess...you guessed it, Great Adventure! The kids had a great time, as usual.

7 Things I Love About Fall

Dancing, Falling Leaves / Impressions of Comfort

I love this page and I love Impression of Comfort! Is this not a most wonderful and fun page? Doesn't this make you want to be a kid again to be able to jump in piles of leaves and swim in them? I don't know about you, but I know it does make me want to join in! Did I not pick the most perfect papers for my photos? And look at that fabulous swirly wind carrying the leaves away from the pile to land just atop the rubber band? The leaves are from Birgit's Glorious Autumn collaboration kit with Flergs. (see link below)
