I savor my photography walks at our local botanical gardens. Especially this time of year, as we await winter snow. A few berries and seed pods will hang on through the long winter. The rest is blank landscape slumbering until spring.

Texture Twist: Bittersweet Autumn

As the calendar turns from November to December so does the seasons turn. Autumn is the season I hold onto to the most, being that it's my favorite. Every day is filled with bittersweet memories, pastimes, and traditions. Are you feeling the same? What's your favorite season?

Texture Twist: November Woodlands

Each season brings beauty to the woodlands surrounding our home. In Autumn the treetops dazzle in the sunlight with golden and crimson leaves. Each leaf falls to the woodland floor as if has a story to tell of success at last, similar to that of graduation. The Autumn sunsets are more bright and beautiful as the days inches closer to winter, encouraging thoughts of gratitude. What has caught your eye this season?

The Country: Tattered Bones

This relic is tucked away and most often unseen. I spotted a glimpse of after visiting a local farmer's market. I had to drive back with my camera gear the weekend after. The exposed bones of the barn make it quite intriguing. There is corn planted in front barn, making it a bit difficult to get to. I didn't venture inside since it isn't likely very stable. Although, I certainly wanted too.

The Seasons: Prairie Plumes

These pretty plumes stand tall at the base of our hillside in the front garden. The bees love them! Lamb's Ear earned it's name for the soft leaves that truly feel like a lamb's soft ear.
