Sunday Serenity...

On our walk today we came across so many nests.

I love to look at them, up close, where you can really appreciate all the fine detail.

It rained a little early in the morning which made the woods smell amazing

under the crunch of the fallen leaves.

Only a few leaves remained on the trees we passed.

Dry and crisp

they were still beautiful ♥

Nests built by the waters edge...

and high up in treetops...

and gorgeous

mossy

fallen tree limbs ...

I came home with pockets filled with nature's gifts that I will use to create Christmas gifts...

heart shaped stones {my grandson started me on this collection ... now I find them on nearly every walk}

birch bark {to wrap around candles}

miniature pine cones {to create Christmas picture frames}

twigs {for picture frames & twig stars}

Walk

as if

you are kissing the Earth

with

your feet
