On Beauty, October-Style

as seen on an October walk 2012

"In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the 

vibration of beauty."--from "A Slice of Sunlight" by Christopher Morley, 1928

How's the autumn color in your neck of the woods?

Hope you're getting some great snapshots :-)

October Morning Gallery

We took a walk this morning, hubby and I, to the top of the hill beyond our house. We do this a couple of times a year, different times, different seasons. Thought I'd share pocket-sized views of October from over this way. It's been a beautiful day.

welcome than the most luxurious Persian carpet." --Helen Keller

once in a while, and you'll find it there." --Robb Sagendorph
