I had such a great time with my friend and her hubby at Richfield Park in Flint, Michigan last month.  Great weather and great scenery mixed with an awesome couple made for these beautiful pictures!

Chicago in the Fall

My fiance Kevin surprised me with a trip to Chicago a few weeks ago!  I didn't know where we were going exactly and for two months he kept telling me it was a surprise!  I found out accidentally the night before and was so excited.  I had never been there.  We flew out in the early morning and it was an amazingly beautiful flight.  There were big fluffy clouds and as we approached Chicago, you could see Lake Michigan and the huge skyscrapers everywhere.  We had such a great time!  He even surprised me with concert tickets to my favorite band who were playing that night!  We spent the weekend exploring the town and I of course, took a ton of pictures!  We can't wait to go back.  Chicago stole our hearts!!

More Fall Pictures

These are some of my Fall pics from October 9,2011, taken at Kensington Park in Milford, MI. It was a beautiful sunny warm, Fall day!! The trees were gorgeous!

Stay Gold

While at a 5k Walk supporting Melanoma this weekend, I had the opportunity to take some of my first Fall Color pictures.  The Golden trees made me think of the song, "Stay Gold" by Stevie Wonder featured in the movie, "The Outsiders"                                                                                                      "Stay Gold"

Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time...so gold

Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever...and be in time
Stay gold

But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold ".
