Today has been magnificent. Nothing hugely spectacular has happened today, but the sun has been out, the weather is holding in the low 70's, and the leaves are at their peak. Driving to Marshall today for work there were moments that I found myself in awe of the beautiful country roads with fall foliage all around. I was thinking that these scenes belong in a movie, not in every day life, and yet here I am getting to enjoy them in person- simple, ordinary me. It was a "drive with the windows down" kind of day. I enjoyed hanging out with my little girl, spending time with family, and even got quite a bit accomplished at work. It really is the simple moments that come to mean so much.
I need to start carrying my camera in my car again to catch up these breathtaking moments on film. There's something so incredible about sunlight hitting trees in just the right way, or light filtering through the trees and hitting a landscape just right. Today inspires the photographer in me. So for fun here are a few photos I shot last season. Since I've let my photography blog fall to the wayside at least I can post a few photos here.

oooh! I miss that area! You are so lucky you get to see that everyday!
Oh you make me want to move back...nothing is like Virginia in the Fall! Beautiful!
Beautiful Virginia! We have had a lot of rain in these parts, but last week it was pretty spectacular here too. We need to get down there. I really wish my folks hadn't moved but we should be down there soon enough and we'll come see you!
And you should keep your camera in the car. You never know when inspiration will strike. I have begun to carry around a digital recorder around with me and have found myself using it quite a bit to record ideas I have during my day.
