late summer beauty.

The intense summer heat yielded itself to cooler, far more pleasant temperatures this week, and we were drawn in to late summer’s beauty not once, but twice. Deep blue skies and bright sunlight overhead. Below, the damp earth crunched beneath little sneakers.I captured late summer’s beauty with pixels. He captured it with his pencil.

We hiked to the Indian mounds, to the river overlook, over the bridge spanning the deep ravine, through the creeks where rocks jutted out over gently flowing water.

We watched the birds scatter at the sound of our footsteps and saw the spider webs and tiny caterpillars suspended by barely visible threads.

And as the end of summer draws near, we took in His grace with glad hearts.
