ezmah and i went for a walk this morning.
{with my new Nikon D3100}
i think we’d both agree that fall is our favorite time of the year.

hope you all have a great evening!!
here are a few shots i took before and after our perrodin potluck last saturday. i have been terrible about getting my camera out at our parties lately…..i need to work on that. i thought these were pretty enough to share though. i took a ton of photos with this blanket my mom made from the 70′s….its such a great splash of color!

i found this seemingly live butterfly a few weeks ago in my backyard under our butterfly bush. it wasnt until i carefully snuck up on it and caught it that i realized it was dead. its beauty and perfectly preserved dead body seems somehow symbolic of something that i havent quite yet put my finger on. its tragic beauty brought much convenience to me as i was able to take a plethora of photographs of its body. also, raine was able to take it to school in a jar to show her classmates…thank you little flutter-by.
as a side note that has nothing to do with my flutter by butterfly, i am currently enjoying an over indulgence of the moment that i am in. mason jennings on the stereo, ezmah by my side, dasien with a bone, my husband being home, cold-wetness outside, and a single bird chirping something important to another fellow bird…mmm…fall
Lately I have felt a twinge of Fall in the air….its probably just wishful thinking as its been nearly 90 degrees this entire week, but I’m still patiently (or not so patiently) awaiting my favorite season. This picture is of course from last year and seeing it only fed my Fall-infested thoughts. This picture reminds me of the great day that Jonathan and I had walking around Fayetteville. He wound up at the Dickson St. Book Store, while I stayed at the Walton Arts Center’s rose garden to catch up on Jonathan’s recommended reading of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five”….cant you just taste the peppermint and feel the cool breeze?
