Hello Monday: Reconnecting with Nature on a Beautiful Fall Day

October 21, 2013 By Mary Hill 5 Comments

By Mary Hill
Yesterday, we ventured to a nearby lake and explored nature and its finery with our daughter and two grands.  I was feeling better and after missing the adventures at the corn maze that the rest of the family went on Friday night because I was still recovering, I did not want to stay cooped up another day. I found a lot of beauty and was reminded of my awesome God.

Give it a minute and then listen as you read. 🙂
The autumn fire glistens on the lake.
We find a free “nature’s amusement ride,” a limb strewn across the path to bounce upon as the crisp leaves blow around.
Hello to a quick break and time to pose on pieces of an old tree.

Hello to a simple stick and the crackling sounds of brown, orange, and yellow leaves littered on the ground.

Hello to the beauty of animals and insects everywhere.

  
Hello to reflections of amber and gold upon the water.

Hello to leaf litter gently lapping at the shore.

Hello to memories of peace and serenity.

    Hello Mary,

    Thanks for joining my site. It’s always nice to get to know more people. Nice to meet you. 🙂

    Oh, these transparent water scenes are lovely, as is the butterfly up close. Sounds like you and your man had a great time with kids and grandkids this weekend.

    Have a great week, Mary.

    So serene and beautiful. I’m glad you’re recovering and was well enough to go out.
