Fall is A'Comin'

Last Friday there was only a couple of kids so off to the neighborhood lake we went. As we got there I was really glad I made everyone bring their jackets. Can we say "Brrr"? It was cool with a real good wind blowing. Welcome September and fall. I don't know if you can tell by these pictures but the grey hue is not photoshopped in, if that gives you an idea of the chill of the day.


Even these guys were having nothing to do with getting in the water choosing instead to grab as much warmth as they could from the meager rays of the sun.

"I ain't dipping my toes into that frigidness, Bub. If you want to know how cold it is, you dip your own toes."

Huddling together in greyness.

But even in all the greyness & coldness of the day, if we but open our eyes, God still lets beauty and color shine through.


Did you find some of God's beauty and color in your weekend?

Yes, there is beauty. Glad that you could take some time to find it also. Spent some time in Van. and it's so gorgeous along the ocean front. Leaves are just turning color.
But I could not dip my toes....

He can make beauty in any crevice! I love the cool freshness of your images. Helps clear away the smoky haze here where we are near the big Los Angeles fires. Love that shot of the kids crouched down.
