I miss these little ones!

Oh how I miss my little neice and nephew!  The ones who live WAY out in AZ.  Of course I miss my bro and his wife like crazy too, but when the little ones are so tiny and sprouting like mad you want them to get to know you and you want to see them grow!  I know... they're not my kids... but I adore them... so I'm braggin' on them... and here are few pics...

Vibrant colors gone. Joy? Abundant still!

The Fall colors decided to leave.  Just this past week nearly all of them glided to the ground.  Now we are left with barren trees, soon to be met with freezing temps.  And here begins my least favorite season, blanketed with a lifeless looking forest.  But within months snow will be here, and will make up for the current lack with it's unique beauty. 

Still, God is the Creator of it all.  And despite the season, there is always beauty in His creation. 

Amazing is His handiwork in creation.  Each day I am awed at how I fail in ability to even make my heart beat; to understand how anything created within me functions.  And yet on I live.  Certain that each day is a gift from Him.  Yearning desparately to give back to the Savior who gave all.

Two weekends back, trekking thru Camp's trails...

A lake at Camp, beautifully colored.

Vibrant fallen leaves!

Enjoying a Fall walk two weekends ago!
