Blessing in Disguise
Last night, I had to stay a little later than usual at work. I was mentally grumbling to myself about how I wished I was on my way home already.
When I finally did get to leave, I realized staying late was a blessing in disguise.
My walk to my car was amazing. I have a bit of a hike to my car (2 miles)--this is by choice, I'm not complaining--so I had time to really appreciate it.
The sky was absolutely stunning. I felt like I was walking into a sepia tone photograph. The light was golden and the sky through the trees was breathtaking. Then it went from golden to orangeish pink.
I wished I had my camera with me, but somehow I don't think a photo would have done it justice.
It's times like this that remind me to thank God--a) for His artistry and b) that I recognized it.
I know there are plenty of times when I don't notice. I can't imagine all the cool things I've missed in my rushing around. But once in awhile, I get thrown off track and hugely rewarded.

Early Morning
I took a walk early Saturday morning.
I brought my new camera with me in the hope of capturing some deer.
As I walked, I realized I can now tell the difference between the sound of a squirrel moving through the woods and a deer. You might think that would be a no brainer, but for the longest time, any rustling I heard made my heart skip in the anticipation of seeing a deer.
First, I heard a squirrel. I wasn't fast enough with the camera to get him.
A short time later, I heard a deer. I crouched down and got my camera ready. The rustling became louder and louder. She was running straight at me! My nerves got the best of me and I stood up. She, of course, stopped in her tracks and bounded off in the opposite direction.
Maybe next time I will stay put and get an amazing photo of a deer leaping over me!
A little while later, I saw her and another doe playing in the woods. They were jumping at each other like two puppies. I didn't even try to snap a picture--I just stood there enjoying them.
I did manage to get these photos of the beautiful winter foliage though. I was able to sneak up on these plants with no problems--I'm a cagey one like that.

A Last Glimpse
of Summer.
I didn't spend a whole lot of time appreciating the joys of summer this year--my mind and heart were consumed with things that were much more important to me.
I did manage to snap a few pictures though. It's funny, looking through my pictures, I don't really even remember taking these, but I'm glad I did.
I'm looking forward to Autumn and I'm already enjoying seeing the very beginning of the leaves starting to change. But I did want to take a quick look back at some of summer's beauty.
