I really needed this…. to get out into the fall weather and into the magnificent colors.  I wish I could have stayed out longer, but I’d forgotten that since the end of Daylight Savings time, it gets dark earlier than it did a week ago.  So, it was getting dark, there were quite a few clouds - the lighting wasn’t perfect (as on Friday when I didn’t have my camera), and the batteries died after about 5-10 minutes, but here’s a bit of what I was able to capture…

I always feel grateful after I’ve had a chance to walk a bit in nature.  Its intricate and exquisite beauty reminds me of the hand of God in my life.  I feel renewed, more grounded, and I am able to more fully appreciate the simple things… simple, but meaningful and inspiring.

Creativity Question: I’ve asked before what inspires you.  This time, the question is, where do you go to renew your soul?
For me, there are several places - but nature is probably the place where I feel the strongest, simplest, soul-stirring feelings of gratitude, and at the same time, refill my creativity cup (and I can’t possibly capture it perfectly through my camera lens).
