We went walking.

This weekend was the first real fall weekend we've had all year. The leaves were changing color, the temperature never got above the low 60s (and down to 40 at night), the sky was clear, and the air was crisp. Plus, we just received a gorgeous DSLR as a wedding gift from Torsten's parents. So, interspersed with lunch with friends and meetings with our officiant and florist, Torsten insisted that we go for two walks, one on each weekend day--although one could more accurately be described as a hike.

As you can see, the weather and the camera were competing for first prize in the gorgeousness category. Full sets here and here. All photos by Torsten.

On the first walk, Torsten took photos of flowers:


And bark:


While I sat on the ground:


And lay in a field:


You can see which one of us is the more dedicated photographer and nature enthusiast. But perhaps things changed on Day 2? Torsten took photos of foliage:



And moss:


And bark, again:


And stumps:


I sat on a rock:


Yeah, no, nothing changed on Day 2. I still stick to my motto: Nature is what windows are for.
