it’s fall


Driving through town this morning, I saw a beautiful but bittersweet sight.

The trees are just beginning to turn, and this one was way ahead of the game.

and then, she {snapped}



The sky is dark later in the morning and earlier in the evening. The earliest leaves are dropping, and the first rain of autumn has fallen.  And this morning, our woodstove crackled with the first cozy fire of the year. Mt. Adams has gone from this:                                                               to this:

the covenant

 

rainbow

And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:  I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;  and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.”
Genesis 9:12-15

What an amazing blessing that we can always trust God’s promises. They aren’t contracts (dependent on if we keep up our end of the bargain)—they’re covenants, and He is faithful to them even when we aren’t.

scavenger hunt viii

 

Wow, my camera has about an inch of dust on it right now. Amazing what a few college courses can do to my creativity and free time! I did manage to get a few together for this week’s scavenger hunt, though. :)

inspired by a book or movie

Yes, this is an archives photo. Darn, I was really hoping to think of something awesome—especially since I constantly have movie quotes floating through my brain. Oh well. You have to live with the Narnia-scape.

brown

This photo is a couple weeks old, but I figured that would be okay since you haven’t seen it yet. The cows themselves were only brown because they had so much dirt on them (I think they were supposed to be gray).

hazy

I took this at sunrise after my morning run on Monday. In the opposite direction was a huge double rainbow. :)

coffee or tea

This photo of our teakettle was a completely random attempt at bokeh. I had no idea there would be any “coffee or tea” prompt to use it for!

linger

Ironically, “linger” is exactly what Ana did not want to do while I was taking these pictures. I loved the spot so much that I kept her posing there for a little longer than she wanted to… But they turned out fantastic, so I’m forgiven.
