The trip to Knotts Island was so beautiful, particularly on the two-lane wavy ribbon of road between the wildlife refuge and the island. I wanted to stop and just walk the whole distance (miles!) with camera in hand to capture some of the magnificence of the raw beauty all around me.
But instead, I just drove a little slower on the way home, savoring every turn in the road's fresh perspective, trying hard to drink it in and memorize as much as I could of it.
Sad to say, I don't have one photo to share with you of that area. But I will send you to a link to show you where I was.
Visit http://www.willowgaitfarm.com/ as a teaser for tomorrow's post. I'll tell you why I was there and my faith lesson for the day. At least on my friend Carol's site there is one lovely picture of water and a tree... (I hope she doesn't mind that I've copied it here for you.)
This nature girl has to have her fix of beauty in creation as often as possible! It keeps me focused on what's really important and who's in charge of this sometimes crazy world.
Take today and look around you, especially at the beauty of creation this time of year. It's a time to be thankful, even as you prepare for the Thanksgiving season. I'll be talking more about beauty and showing some gorgeous fall pictures this week coming up also. Have a grateful day!

Hi Lois - I got the link to your blog from Carol Molloy. I wasn't able to attend the art fair at her farm last weekend, but my mother and father were there - Bob and Martha Burns. Anyways, just wanted to say I've enjoyed looking over your blog and I had to comment on this because I was married in front of that willow tree you posted a picture of in June 2007! Who could ask for a more beautiful location, right?
Glad you enjoyed our little slice of heaven. God Bless!
