Wayside Sacraments

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting - a wayside sacrament.Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I cannot possibly improve upon Emerson. 
The trees themselves, though... they surpass words, even Emerson's.
Happy Fall!

Catherine is growing, at least in spirit.
I should stop commenting on her size, but she's such a pint-sized thing for a six-month old.  It makes it extra cute when she does, well, just about anything.

This photo shoot started out as documentation of dresses I made for Catherine and Grace.  However, the sun was shining, and Cate was on her A-game as far as cuteness goes.  So she quickly stole the show. 

You can tell these were shot a couple of weeks ago, back when short sleeves were comfortable.  While I was shooting these, my other niece was hanging out behind me, making faces at her sister so she'd laugh, and refusing to be in frame.  It's okay.  I'll get her next time.

  

PS. didn't those dresses turn out cute!
