Taking Advantage

We're taking advantage of these last warm days.


Just a few of my favorite pictures from yet another trip to the Arboretum.

The colours were STUNNING.

Tree climbing.




Who needs playground equipment when you have some cut-down logs to play on. We must have spent 1/2 an hour here, just jumping and jumping. {Well, the kids. Not Denise and I!}

A low-flying plane caught Jackson's attention.

Maddie, as always, was captured by the imagining of what could be in the marsh below.

The picture below is my personal favorite of the day: It is "SOOC" - straight out of the camera in photograph speak. I did do the horton-ish" function on the photo editing software to get the blurry sort of look but otherwise, didn't change the colours or composition of the photo. I LOVE how it turned out! I just love his little bottom in blue-jeans. Scrumptious!
I keep hoping we get lots more of these sorts of days. They go a long way for mood enhancement.

Stay long dear autumn.

Stay long.
