A Beautiful Fall Morning...

This morning as we were finishing up milking, I saw a beautiful sight.

I happened to glance towards the east as I carried the last milker to the milk house, just in time to see the sun at the exact moment that it was peeking over the horizon.  The colors weren't especially beautiful...no brilliant reds or oranges...but the sun light that streamed across the fields was breath taking.

As usually happens, by the time you grab your camera, the magic is gone. And...the camera never quite captures the images quite as beautiful as they are in real life, but I tried anyway...

This picture looking to the west, of the Amish neighbors' barn peeking over the hill, is probably one of the most photographed shots that I've taken over the years, in all seasons.  You should see it at sunset!


I think the hydrangeas are especially beautiful this time of year, and the sun only made them prettier this morning... 


The golf course across the road always gives us a show of beautiful leaves as well...


The leaves are late here this year...and we're enjoying them as long as we can.  It makes the fall more enjoyable, and at least makes me imagine that winter is still a long way off!

  4. Beautiful pictures, and our color is almost gone here now, after the rain and wind. So many trees are bare already.

  9. SO gorgeous, and yes, a lot of the time our cameras do not catch the light in all its glory that our eyes behold... that is a huge Hydrangea bush, I'd be asking if I could cut a bunch of blooms to decorate with! Thank you for coming by to share on Rurality Blog Hop #39!

  11. I love the light when it is like that. And it happens so rarely that to be outside and to see it always is a gift!!

  12. Wow! Beautiful pictures.
    I agree with you about grabbing the camera, before the picture gets away from you. I remember my dad told me that you have 1 golden minute with sunrises and sunsets ... just one minute to capture that light.
    I have found that to be absolutely true.

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with us.

    Have a great night, my friend.

  17. These are beautiful sights. My shots rarely depict what I actually see in person. I think there is a reason for that.
