quiet walk with Mother Nature. It will
nurture your mind, body, and soul.’ Anthony Douglas Williams

I have spent some time outside this past week
enjoying the good weather. There was
some rain, but all in all it was a beautiful fall week.
My daughter, husband and I went to Glen Helen Nature Preserve on Sunday. The weather was
beautiful and there were still some fall colors to look at. When my pictures didn’t have much color, I
used Kim Klassen’s Lightroom preset autumncopper which added more fall color.
We have been outside working in the yard too,
raking leaves and pruning trees. While I
was raking, I noticed there were two purple coneflowers, a little worse for
wear, but still there. I normally don’t
take pictures of flowers past their prime, but I thought these deserved a
photo.
We are going to get our first taste of winter
tonight with freezing temperatures and a little wet snow, just in time
for Trick or Treat tonight in our city.
In our part of Ohio they stagger the Trick or Treat nights so each
suburb has kids Trick or Treating on a different night. Since the weather will be bad tonight, we went to a neighboring
city to Trick or Treat last night. So my daughter already has her
candy and if it is nice, she gets to Trick or Treat twice. This is the first year we have done this, I felt like we were cheating somehow, but we did have fun. My daughter dressed up as a window washer and put
blue Gatorade in a Windex bottle to squirt in her mouth. Oh to be a kid again...
Today I am joining Kim Klassen’s Friday Finds. My images were textured with Kim Klassen's textures painterly and thursday2014. This week I found beauty in nature, which
really isn’t hard to do.
If you celebrate Halloween have safe and fun night!
Thank you for stopping by!!
Have a great weekend!!
