Gathering the Moments: September




Mellow September. As the earth tilts imperceptibly away from the sun, temperatures cool. Summer's absorbed heat slowly fades from the earth. Sunny days yet, with just a few of rain. A beautiful month.
When I look back, I can see why these 30 days simply flew by. It was filled with family times - visiting Tim's mom and siblings in Alberta, my parents and siblings in Chilliwack, and family gatherings here on our Island.
  

Hiking in the Rockies, kayaking in the ocean, admiring ever-changing skies in the prairies, drifting through a misty landscape on the ferry, puttering in the garden - this month was filled with nature experiences. 


And it was a month of celebration! Three birthdays, one baby baptism/dedication, and one fashion show. Whew! Bring on October!

  6. A month of family time and nature's beauty... what could be nicer? Your collages highlight the moments so nicely.
    Wishing you an October every bit as wonderful.
    I like your new header, Lorrie. The pumpkin made from a book is awesome!

    Your nature photos are always exquisite, as is your prose.

  14. I'm trying to figure out where my September went, too. I don't have nearly as much to show for it as you do.

    I loved your pictures. It must be so beautiful there.

  15. September just slipped by rather quickly, didn't it? Here it has been pretty quite. Your mosaics nicely summarize your month.
