camp

One thing that makes the seasons so interesting is that you see things differently. There are always so many interesting things to see.

And the best part is that you never know where you will find it. 

Things just look different. 

The light is different.

The color is different.

Always an adventure.

beechnuts

On luzia pimpinella's blog I found these wonderful flowers made from beechnuts, beads and wire. They are absolutely beautiful! We have a beech tree right outside our front door and we have thousands of the nuts in the grass, in the road and on the side walk. So I went out and scooped some up!

(no lie, this is what our sidewalk looks like.)

First I had to make some of the flowers. I made them a little different then luzia pimpinella, but I think they still had a nice charm about them.

After I tried my had with the flowers I just had to take the idea and run! And so I did. I made ornaments!

There is nothing like home made ornaments and I feel that these turned out particularly wonderful.

They are fun and easy, so if you've got a beech tree that annoys you when it drops it's nuts, now you have a use for them!

Sometimes it's fun to see what comes out in an image when you take the color away. 

apples

There are so many types of apples, I feel like I can't keep up with it all. Red ones, and green ones, yellowish ones and any combination of all of the above. All I know is it's a sure sign of fall when apples are everywhere!

There is nothing like going to a farmers market on a early Sunday afternoon...
