Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons, and October is quickly making room for the coming cold of November and beyond. This was taken just outside my front door. Happy Fall and Winter everyone!

let go the summer days

the buzzing evening songs

and the corn so high

and proud

just embrace crispy leaves

the cedar scented sweater

it’s raining yellow

orange and red

dear cold rose

rest beneath

a wintry blanket

the dark cold days

just a bridge

to that wondrous

moment

then Spring

The Falls vs Chris

This is the last image from a hiking trip that I took with my son to Matthiessen Park. At first I told him to not climb up to the falls... then I followed him!

Matthiessen Stairs

This is the second shot from a hike that I took with my son this past Sunday. You will see these stairs in their "context" in another post.

Blue Ice

Blue IceThis was taken a few years ago in South Haven, MI. There is a beautiful lighthouse there and it is one of my favorite places to go.
