Fall has Fallen

Bill has become quite the nature photographer up in these mountains. He has plenty of God's beauty to capture every where he looks.
Toccoa Falls is a beautiful site in Northeast Georgia. We love seeing it over and over again.
I think these two shots were taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. The colors were amazing.

This waterfall is located in Apple Pie Ridge, one of the Land Specialties communities.
I loved this picture of Elijah and my mom at Toccoa Falls. It is one of our favorite places to take out of town visitors.
Lexi and Belle got their faces painted at the Toccoa Harvest Festival one Sunday afternoon this November.

Lexi and Belle dressed as cowgirls, while Elijah was a dinosaur for Halloween. Elijah took off trick-or-treating like he had been doing it all his life, he was a pro. We were at my sister's house in Troy, Alabama.

Okay, Toni, I finally got my blog updated. Thanks for checking in on it. I don't think I have blogged about my new role as school teacher to Lexi, but that has taken away any time for blogging I usually had. Once I get into the swing of things and Elijah requires less of my time (especially at bed time) I should be able to keep the blog up to date more frequently.
We enjoyed a beautiful fall here in the mountains. Once the colors reached their peak, it was amazing how quickly they fell from the trees. It is sad to see that pretty color gone from our view. The deer are out in mass quantity with the cooler temperatures. The kids love watching them daily and the wild turkeys too. Though, the turkeys must know Thanksgiving is near because they haven't been very visible this week.
October was filled with visits from friends and family. A trip to Pigeon Forge, TN, one to Asheville, NC to the Biltmore Estate and then down to Troy for Halloween.
Lexi and I are enjoying homeschooling, Belle is still attending her preschool and Elijah goes twice a week to his MDO program.

These pics are great! You guys certainly took advantage of the beautiful fall leaves up here. Your visitors were here at the perfect time!

I know exactly what you mean about the color disappearing so fast.

Look forward to seeing how your shots from last weekend turned out.
