What a Fall ~ God's Handiwork


After the trip to NY City I couldn't wait to get home and
see the colors of the Country where I live.
The first morning I went to the park..note the park bench.



But... sitting on the bench wasn't what I was searching for
I walked behind the park to the creek bed


In search of the stream I knew flowed there.. and the birds
I knew must be here

The first morning I did see a great blue Heron, but he saw
me first and was gone in a flash...
Although I have been told I am part Indian, I do not know
how to walk quietly through the fallen leaves.

I love to watch the colorful leaves float downstream

I too saw a Kingfisher, but he too saw me first.

Hiking through the woods on a cool crisp morn is as good
for the soul as it is for the body.

A Fallen tree with the roots exposed and
crunchy leaves all around
I returned to this walk three times in a week... and each time
saw something more spectacular that nature had left for me.

The complexity and beauty of nature reminds me that
the Creator takes great care in his creations.
One solitary leaf caught on the top of a stick...just for me.

The brilliant fallen leaves provide a colorful carpet that
beckons a morning walk

A blazing yellow and orange tree beyond the bare trunks

Aha little fella, what are you hunting?

Oh My! That is a very large nut for you to carry

A flurry of sound as a Cardinal takes off from a bush nearby

Did you think you could hide from me?

I see you up there looking at me

On my third round I did get to see the Kingfisher...
but from where I was the picture just wasn't clear.
I was stooped down in the underbrush pointing
up through sticks and leaves afraid to move
closer or he would fly.
I promise I will keep going back until I capture this
noisy little fella.


Natures music is never over.... listen for the sounds of the water flowing and
watch for the colorful leaves as they float down stream. This is just so soothing to my soul.
Enjoy!
