Because it’s November and the Fall colors are in full effect right now, and because it was only 70 degrees and sunny out, my oldest son and I went to a local park this past weekend to take some pictures. My boss’s wife is a professional photographer and she recently posted a picture taken from this same park and posted it on Facebook. It was SO incredibly gorgeous. I asked Chris if he knew about this park and “Duh Mom!”.
It was a very nice trail that wound around a lake. I’d driven past this lake for the past 15 years and never once had I figured out how to get to it. Chris had been taking photos at this lake as long as he’s owned a camera. It’s one of his favorite places to go. I just had no idea that it was so close to my house. Note to self: Get out more!
If you’ve ever read anything I’ve written, you already know my love for the sun and the water.
But I also have another fetish. . .trees. . . don’t ask because I have no idea. But I found that I was in paradise here.
I truly have this thing about trees. Love them!! A single tree in a pasture, a row of trees on a walkway, a cluster of trees bursting with color. . . L.O.V.E. them!!
Now that I’ve acquainted myself with this park, I’d like to come back and take the same photos from the same spots in each season. Must mark that on my To-Do List.
Do these colors not just scream Thanksgiving? I hope you all have a very lovely day tomorrow full of love, family and thanks.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWe have been in our home three years and I just found out about a great place near us too, with a 2-3 mile trail where people walk their pups. I’m not sure how much of it I can walk due to my bad knees, and our leaves are mostly gone now, but I still want to see if it’s a photographer’s delight.
Always love new photo ops, especially in the fall.
Love your photos today.

I can’t get over the colors we are seeing this year. I’d swear over the last 10 years – the leaves just fall off the trees in October. This year is a real treat.
Hi Donna. These pictures are gorgeous, and actually….sort of made me cry. I’m in a mood, can’t sleep, so I see the fall colors of your pics and cried a little. I love trees too. In ways that I can’t even explain.
Donna, I’m glad that with all the undeserved ugliness you are facing in your life right now, you are able to go out and find beauty and appreciate it fully. You are such a true person, both to yourself and to others. Some people hate that, and attack it. Me…it’s what I love about you.
Take pictures of what you love, and write what you feel, Donna. If others threaten, scream, pout, cry, or post dozens of incomprehsible ramblings…so what? Why on earth do they come to your blog in the first place, and why would they take the time to read the comments that your FRIENDS leave for you? And…find fault with it? Please. Hold your head up high and don’t change a thing about you. You are the true one, and as my great grand-daddy always said, “You can’t fight stupid. Just smile and nod.”
I love you.
Oh my word, these pictures are amazing!! I am so chuffed and amazed and impressed! Wow… The talent, its a special kind of amazing!!!
Much love
What a beautiful day for you. Time spent with your son enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
What a perfect way to repair your wounded heart.
