::for rachel::

My friend Rachel has been sick. She was in the hospital for while. While she was there I took some pictures of beautiful things to post here for her, since she was stuck inside. There wasn't much else I could do for her from so far away.
But I'm slow, and now she's home. I think she'll still enjoy this post though.
These photos were all taken on a walk around our neighborhood.
And yes, it is beautiful here.

I love the contrast of dark trunks and bright yellow leaves. So striking.

I asked Kris to model this sweet little valentine leaf for me.

Did King Midas walk this way today?

These are really more like spring flowers than most of the fall flowers that are around right now. They're such a delicate color.

This is a "magic wand" that Max found along the way.

I love this photo. These hydrangeas are so beautiful. The blue color just makes me feel so happy.

Yeah. What can I say.

And my favorite leaves of the day. I love these that combine a vibrant color with some of their old green. They're just so beautiful.

So thanks for coming on a walk with us Rachel, I hope you feel better fast and soon! Love you!
