The quiet lane stretches out through the old battlefield. Hills that once shuddered in roar of cannon fire now hold peace and tranquility for the weary mind. The main season for the park is now over and soon the gates will close for winter. The deer will play in the sprawling fields and rest under the picnic shelters. But here in the gap is a chance to stroll beneath the beautiful Appalachian Fall leaves and recharge the spirit. The time for sweat and toil has ended and the period of rest has begun.
Rest well Friends and be blessed throughout your days.

The breeze carries that familiar sweet earthy scent of freshly fallen leaves throughout the hills and valleys. If I am still enough I can hear the leaves gently tumbling through the branches before softly coming to rest on the ground. Small birds of every feather all around collecting their favorite seed and hunting insects. The sun sweeps across the the landscape caressing fully changed leaves to reveal the secret treasure of the mountains. Golden leaves shine brilliantly and behind them the rich red forms a velvety blanket. Could a royal treasury hold another spender more wonderous than the glory of nature in her seasons? Do kings not trade their treasures for landscape that contains such glorious moments as is found in our mountains? Step outside your door and smell the breeze, accept the sun’s touch and let your eyes fall on the treasures that surround you and enjoy your life in the time you’re given.
Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Red Maple 111019″and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.
A warm breeze caresses the forest as I step out to the edge of civilization and embrace the real world. The leaves are becoming more scarce now and most of branches carry only a few stragglers. The blood red leaves on a few of the younger maples have stayed longer than most. The younger trees tend to hold their leaves longer and it’s not unusual for beech and sycamour to keep their leaves until Spring. This particular red maple started the Fall with a rich golden tone and slowly transitioned into a velvety red with just the right amount of yellow to make it like gold dust settled on them. Or perhaps some woodland sprite visited the tree and sprinkled the gold as she flew past it. I marvel only for a moment and a lull in the wind allows me to catch the beautiful colors before they finally fade away.

Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Autumn Crossing” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.
A slow drizzle of rain floats through the hills. It’s just enough rain to bring out the color of the leaves along the Kanawha River. I know by the mood of the clouds that the winds are well on their way. The high winds that come about this time of year just after the color peaks strips the leaves from the trees and scatters the fall colors. I have one chance to catch them before this happens. The curved railroad bridge between Alloy and Deepwater has always been one of my favorite subjects and I’m actually ahead of schedule for my morning commute so I pull the big blue truck onto the berm and try to get as far off of the road as possible. When I opened the door of the truck the smell of the rain mingled with my morning coffee and invigorated my soul. I only have a few minutes to grab a handful of frames so I got right to work. The gracefully curved bridge with it’s rustic feel mirrored in the Kanawha River was the perfect subject for catching the colors of fall on the Kanawha River. I could spend all day exploring different angles and settings but it the day job that pays the bills. So, I tuck my cameras away and grip the steel cable as take one more breath of fresh before moving on to the next opportunity.

Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “The Hay Wagon” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.
The cool night air bites at my cheeks as I stare up into the crystal clear sky. The sun disappeared behind the mountains early in the evening but there’s still a soft purple hue on the horizon. There was a few streetlights dotted throughout the rural community but not so many as to ruin the view of star. The night sky is unbroken by the blinking lights of passenger jets in those days. By the time I was a sophomore in high school I’d had enough allergy treatments to allow me to participatein a hay ride. I had tucked a few antihistamine pills in my pocket just in case I started to have a reaction but they were unnecessary. I leaned back against the wooden sides of the wagon and thought about how much the stars resembled sugar sprinkled across the opaque dome of a late fall night. The only sounds at the moment were the steady clip clop of the horse’s hooves on the hardtop lane. The hay helped keep the youth group warm in the bitter night air and we were covered by beautifully designed Appalachian quilts. And there was rich hot chocolate made with whole milk. Then I felt someone take my hand and I looked down to see the new girl in the group looking up at me. We never spoke. I was too shy in my teen years and seemed to babble and stutter around the girls. Fortunately for me she didn’t speak either. We just cuddled up under the quilt and looked at stars. Nobody seemed to notice us as the horse pulled the wagonload of teenagers through the hills. That is, until the wagon pulled up at her house and she gave me my first kiss before she went inside.
When I see a hay wagon I’m always taken back to a simpler time. A time when the simple things in life were the most important things and we took the time to enjoy them. And, our lives were fully enriched when time was our own.
