I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world....

Today I was on the internet, looking for a pretty "Fall Screensaver" for my computer!  After not finding anything that really excited me, I remembered the beautiful fall follage I had wittnessed firsthand when Frank and I went back east with Tony and Chris, Rick and Lynnette and Dana and Trisha!  "I have better fall follage pictures than these!" I thought as I went to my photo album. As I flipped through the pictures I was aw-struck by the beautiful scenery we had seen when we visited New York, New England, New Hampshire and Vermont back in 1999!   As we traveled along, we began to come upon breathtakingly beautiful fall colors!  One of us would holler out... "Kodak Momment!!!"  and we would pull off to the side of the road and  all scramble out of the two cars we were traveling in to take pictures!  We didn't make it very far that day because we had a "kodak momment" about every 100 yards!   Here are some of our pictures!   And REMEMBER.... the pictures never are as pretty as the real thing!  This trip was a once in a life time experience and it was so fun to share nature's beauty with people that I love!!!








On this trip we also visited Niagra Falls, the Hill Camorah, the Sacred Grove,
Massachusetts, and Main!  There is something special about wittnessing the beauty Heavenly Father has created to "please the eye and gladden the heart!"  I felt a special kind of reverence and aw as my soul drank in the beauty of nature and an added measure of my Heavenly Father's love for me!

Frank and I have planned another trip back east soon... to New York and Washington DC.
I am hoping that we planned it just right and again will wittness the magestic beauty of fall colors! 
There's nothing else quite like it!

I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world...Heavenly Father created for me!!

  2. Remember that 11 years ago cameras weren't quite what they are today. Remember eating at the Squirrels Hole where we thought we might find "Larry and my other brother Larry." People there referred to us as "leaf peepers".
    Would love to go back again sometime. We need to plan something fun with all of us again.

  5. Hi Lita! I found your blog through another Mexico blog that I just discovered. It is so nice to find fellow mexpats. I've been living in Mexico for 10 years and boy, do I miss seeing the leaves change color. (Not that they change much in Southern California.)

    Anyway, it was lovely finding your blog. Stop by anytime to say HI!
