A cold, crisp fall day with *gasp* sunshine in the forecast! Off for a walk to my familiar haunt with backpack and heavy book in tow.
Down my street, up a hill, and through a golf course I go. A golf course?
Yes, a golf course.
Amazing how peaceful it can be in mid-November!
The days grow ever shorter this time of year, and the sun drops all too quickly.
Self portrait. With thanks to the tree who so willingly volunteered itself as a tripod. Ah, trees are so patient =).
Arriving at my destination. A tiny graveyard is a perfect reading spot. Ever noticed? The hush, the stillness. Pause. Reflect.
"But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
"The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
"Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
"Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul." ~Horatio G. Spafford
Wishing you all a peaceful, reflective autumn.

I love the story of Horatio.
ReplyDeleteGraveyards are great places for reflection. Can't say I ever went to read at one though :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat Pictures and thoughts. I too find graveyards very peaceful and a great place for reflection.
