There are few things that I miss from growing up in the Midwest as much as the trees!
Trees that provided us endless hiding places and shade throughout the hot summers.
Trees that painted the hills with the most gorgeous colors in the fall.
Trees that were my dreaming place.
I can remember many times that I would sit under a tree with my art supplies or journals dreaming of all the things I wanted to become.
So when we come home we always have to walk where our feet crunch the leaves underneath and our heads are covered from above with their shade.
Poetic, Jeanne. Really lovely.
the gold is out here…in the mountains, but the variety of color here does not compare with the land to the east. i love me some shade trees!=)
I miss the apple orchard (the cider especially) but also the red trees. I loved the bright fall colors. 🙂 Can we have a camera conversation tomorrow? I’m making a list of lenses I’m saving up for…:)
I love Fall… I love trees in the Fall… Cool, Crisp, Beautiful… God’s beauty!
I so agree. Trees shade us, shelter us, feed us, give us air to breathe. Thank you, Trees!
xxoo,
beautiful. i love the trees too. that image of the three kids on the path. great one girl. love the composition!!!!
Beautiful photos. I moved to Virginia over a year and a half ago and miss all the beautiful state parks that I would lose myself in when I lived in Connecticut.
I also miss so much of that as well about being home. The trees I love how they change with the seasons and yes fall is my very favourite. I miss the family walks in the bush. (it seems where we live now we have to take the car to get to such a place)
Beautiful images of a wonderful day that captures the magic of being amongst the trees!
There’s something special about taking a stroll where the sun comes streaming through the canopy of trees above:) And your photos are picture-perfect!
Love these Jeanne. You are all so cute. I agree…feeling the coolness from the shade and listening to all the forest sounds. Not much can beat that. Have a great week sweet friend.
I agree. Even one better are trees with fruit in them. APPLE TREES to be specific. Natures way of providing everything for ya.
sounds like a great walk and experience together…wonderful pictures!
Lovely photos. I love trees too especially in the fall.
…and don’t forget tree houses! Sitting up there in that space you made yourself listening to the swishing sound of the leaves, just the best! I love how you remember to appreciate the most ordinary things in life. You are lovely, Jeanne! Speaking of trees, we just came back from Vermont this weekend and the leaves were spectacular, as usual. Nature’s fireworks!
Looks like a fun family day! Your little man is getting big.
