Fall is coming on quickly and summer here on my mountain is quickly coming to a close. I can feel it in the air. I think fall comes on quicker in the mountains then in lower elevations. This is perfectly fine with me as fall is one of my most favorite seasons. I actually love all of the seasons for what they each bring. But fall is so special to me. I LOVE the leaf color changes in West Virginia. I love the mushrooms that sprout up all over Abram's Creek. I love the smell and feel of the air. I love wearing warmer clothing and being cozy indoors with cups of tea. Sigh. I managed to reach my sit spot this week. It was a beautiful, crisp evening. The above photos is of my sit spot so now you know what it looks like in late summer. I sat on my rock contemplating the quietness. The motel duties were calling my name. I could hear them in the distance. Gloria...come finish making this bed....Gloria, you need to put the laundry in the drier....Gloria....Gloria. Sigh. It can be hard to get away. On the way back home after sitting, I found a delightful little surprise. I looked down into the tall grass and found something very tiny jumping around. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a tiny tree frog! It must have been a juvenile for its size. It was almost the same color as my own pale skin! I stooped down and within a few minutes I had managed to let it jump on my hand. We looked at each other for a few seconds before he/she jumped back down into the tall grass. I fumbled for my camera with hopes that I could catch it again on my hand and get some perfect shots of such a sweet moment. Try though I may, I could not catch that tiny tree frog. Sigh. I stared down at the tall grass for a few minutes and alas, it had disappeared. Onward. Some more summer's end photos
