Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile." William Cullen Bryant

"How beautifully leaves grow old.  How full of light and color are their last days."  John Burroughs
     We really do try to keep more active, so yesterday we hiked at Roxborough State Park.  We hiked the 6.4 mile Carpenter Peak trail to view the glorious autumn colors.  Even though the elevation gain was only about 1100 feet, it was a more tiring hike than we anticipated.  Solution:  do more hiking.  But the colors, the weather, were glorious.  Now, to remember days such as this to get me through the long, cold winter. 
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."  John Muir
