Festival of Leaves 2022~Wrapping it up at week 10

I am sneaking one more photo in since I didn’t post last week. My husband had shoulder surgery on October 12th, and he has needed my help a bit more. Mr. G will need another surgery in the months ahead. So, Festival of Leaves is wrapping it up. Dawn Miller is great to work with. She is a wonderful photographer and always open for adventure. Until next time…

Gratitude

DEAR GOD

This little thank-you note

is an expression of joy,

for which I thank you.

And I thank you for the rainbow

known as hope. I even thank you

for the bad years that increase

my gratitude for the good years,

and for teaching me to bear

the unbearable-to forgive

those who knew not what they did,

what can I do but thank you?

And for an interesting life–

for love, redemptive love,

thank you, thank you, thank you!

God you know my name.

author is Joanne Seltzer

Thinking of and thanking God for all of you today. May our day be a reminder, of all that we have to be grateful for.

Festival of Leaves 2022~week 9

Since the time that I took this photo, there have been very strong gusts of wind. More leaves have lost their grip, but many trees are still flashing their beauty. Other Autumn views can be seen at Festival of Leaves, week nine.

Festival of Leaves 2022~week 8

For week 8 of Festival of Leaves, I am using another photo from our visit to Champoeg State Park. It is such a beautiful place, and I like that it’s not too far, from where we live. I am enjoying every minute of this season.

Festival of Leaves 2022~week 7

I had fun with this, doing some photo editing. This is a city view, taken from the tram in Portland. Mister G had an appointment that day. I will call it, Rainy Day Portland View. I am participating with others in week 7 of Festival of Leaves.
