autumn joys...

I love everything about autumn.

the beautiful hues of the landscape...

the smell of apple and cinnamon...

  and taking a walk with my favorite 4-legged friend, Vincent!

It's great having connections to wonderful photographers! Scott Pease captured Vincent perfectly.

Or course, we had to go off the beaten path so Vincent wouldn't be distracted by other dogs in the park.

  And we went through a lot of treats to reward him for his good behavioral!

But overall, Vincent was a natural.

Happy Autumn!

a walk in the neighborhood

I love walking, especially on an autumn day when the trees are bursting with color. Normally I walk first thing in the morning and early evening but I was having one of those days yesterday and had to get out of the studio to clear my head. So I grabbed my camera and headed outdoors to capture the beautiful hues in my yard and neighborhood. I was amazed how quickly the leaves were falling. It's times like these that I really miss my children because we will be raking those fallen leaves soon—by ourselves! Enjoy!
