A Neighborhood Walk - Pink Saturday & Outdoor Wednesday

Happy Pink Saturday. Today I am going to share some photos from my recent walk around my neighborhood. The flowers are so beautiful, that you almost feel like you are walking in a park. I love my neighborhood! I will also be linking up with Outdoor Wednesday over at A Southern Daydreamer.

Here is a sweet little robin to welcome you. Have you ever seen a prettier perch?

Now I will show you one of my prettiest, pinkest, showiest roses in my garden:

And last but not least, three little yard friends to serenade you or help you out along the way!

I hope you have enjoyed your little stroll through my neighborhood. If you would like to see more lovely pinks, hop on over to Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound and enjoy the posts for today's Pink Saturday!

Christmas Decorations & Outdoor Wednesday

Today, I am joining the group over at Outdoor Wednesday to share our Christmas tree and some Michigan snow. We recently had our first snow of the year - and while it isn't enough to really go skiing, it makes everything look fresh and white and clean. I'm hoping for more by Christmas Day and then we can try out our new x-country skiis - Yay! If not, we'll take a short drive North to the X-Country Ski Headquarters and ski to our heart's content! It is soooo beautiful up there. And only a little more than an hour's drive for us. They are in the snow belt and we are just south of it here. What a difference a few miles can make.

OUR FIRST SNOW OF THE YEAR!

 

And here is Fezzik, our family dog, enjoying the now - he really is enjoying it!

Outdoor Wednesday and REDnesday

My dear husband decided to paint our dining room before Thanksgiving and I was absolutely stunned that he was willing to paint it RED. I think it turned out beautifully!

Here are some beautiful, RED, fall trees around our city! In December the trees have dropped all their leaves, but they were in their splendor not very long ago!

And make your way over to It's a Very Cherry World to see REDnesday posts.

Outdoor Wednesday

Here are some photos from our walk out at City Forest. It was a beautiful fall day and the colors were brilliant. They were having a race out there with dogs and their owners. We managed to avoid most of the runners and have some peace and quite while we were out there. It is so refreshing to be outside in the crisp fall air and enjoying the beauty of God's creation. We are fortunate to have so many places here where we can enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

Lots of little white mushrooms all lined up on a fallen log.

Psalm 96:1, 12: "Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!"  

 

"Let the fields and their crops burst forth with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise."

Isn't it just a majestic view!

 

 

And the brilliant yellows and reds of the fallen leaves were all around!

 

 

Fences were installed for the Haunted Forest vignettes.

 

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs." Psalm 100:1-2 (NIV)

Outdoor Wednesday - Around the Neighborhood

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful fall day, so I took a walk around the neighborhood with my camera. The sun was shining and there was just a slight breeze. What a calming time it was for my spirit. I enjoyed it so much. Here are a few shots from around the neighborhood. And here is one of the last roses from our garden.
