A moment in time

As Abbie and I walked on this beautiful autumn morning, we reflected on how catching a moment in time is such a marvelous thing.

A plane was doing touch and goes from the small airport a mile down the road. With the bright sun shining at a challenging angle for my camera viewer, it was difficult to view the image of the plane in the screen, so the fact that I finally caught the moving plane is a tribute to technology and a stroke of good luck.

I also tried to capture the moment in time showing Abbie in mid-stride as she catapulted down the road in front of me. Since her feet are not touching the ground, you can start to imagine how fast she runs.

Today's pictures of our glorious fall weather are posted in hopes that you will be able to enjoy the same moment in time that we enjoyed this morning. As you look at the pictures, imagine the cool breeze against your face, so cool that it brings tears to your eyes as you walk into the wind. Imagine the sounds of the soon to be harvested corn stalks rushing into each other like the leaves of the cottonwood trees next to the river, a constant whispering that is comforting like the waves of the ocean. Imagine the birds twittering in the trees as they wake and offer up their songs for the day.

I hope the fall weather in your part of the country is as glorious as it is in the midwest. I hope you are able to get out into the great outdoors and talk a walk with your dog, with your friend, or with your own company. I hope you are able to enjoy a moment in time that is yours and yours alone. A moment that is as glorious as the fall day we enjoyed today.
