Last Autumn Pictures

    I hate to see all the beautiful autumn leaves turning brown and falling off the trees. This year they changed in phases. Just when I thought the colors had finished changing there was another burst of color that was just gorgeous. Especially the reds. I wish we could enjoy it a little longer because I am not a winter person!
   There was still a little bit of color left in the trees when I took these pictures of Taylor down at the creek behind her house. It is a great little spot with a wooden bridge and lots of rocks. I still like climbing around in creeks like I did when I was a kid. Only with a camera in my hand it is a little scary.
   Taylor braved the chilly day and even took off her shoes. She is quite the little baker and she loves to make sweet treats. I would be in so much trouble if I lived in her house! I can't resist sweets- especially homemade.

New Friends

   My hubby arranged with a friend for Jeremy and I to go see her horses last weekend. I have always loved horses and I think they are intelligent, beautiful animals. Francesca has 7 horses and it was fun to talk with her about them and learn how they all have different personalities and try to compete for attention. Much like human siblings.

   We mingled amongst all of them and I took pictures. Needless to say, they were very curious about us and my camera. It is very intimidating to be looking through a lens and suddenly realized a large horse is right up in your face. But they were sweet horses and we really enjoyed it. One of the miniature horses was in hot pursuit of Jeremy the whole time because Francesca gave him carrots and he had some in his pocket. He didn't like that but I thought it was hilarious. It doesn't matter what type of animal it is - it is all about the food.
