Have you ever been pulled in so many directions, that you just wanted to run away and hide? Well, that's what I did. I've had so many different things going on lately, and much stuff to take care of, that I just wanted to be in the stillness of nature. I was missing nature, and nature was missing me. ; )
Sometimes critters can blend in with
the colors of nature.
the colors of nature.
When I was at the park drinking my coffee, I noticed something high up in the tree next to me.
I took a closer look,
and saw this!
I wondered what it was....maybe a caterpillar? Well, who says a rainbow has to come from the sky? It made me smile just the same.
I think this is a Black Phoebe.
She came to visit with me one day.

Angel clouds
These were so pretty, and I thought they were real,
but they're not.
but they're not.
Cute lawn stake.
Most of the blossoms have fallen, as Autumn is approaching.
Best honey ever.
I found this fairy/doll house furniture for the granddaughters. I think they'll love it.
Yellow love
I sure won't miss these. They only come around in the Summers, and they creep me out.
I liked these wine labels
at Trader Joes.
This was a cool mural at Starbuck's.
I went to a wedding recently, and me and Jess wore the same color and didn't know it. I'm wearing the earrings Francesca gave me. I do think I will keep these earrings forever.
I've been seeing signs of Fall already.
Window shopping,
and a message for you.

Isn't it marvelous, to be alive.
I love it, a reminder to stop and smell the roses.
I love your end of summer's song, Sheri! And what a curious critter to have spotted high in the tree. I hope the story was that it was thrown up there playfully, not in anger. It could go either way and make a good story, couldn't it? And all in all fits right in with this bittersweet time of year of summer taking her final bows.
Your phoebe reminded me that we don't have them at this house but did at the old house and I loved them so. Even when they built messy nests on our front porch. An angel cloud! You are so observant. And adorable doll house furniture--it's like a tic tac toe table!
And Sheri, you previous post of that charming old book really touched my heart! I too went hunting with my father and remember on snowy days him teaching me the difference in tracks we saw in the snow. I love flannel too and hope it always stays in style.
Somehow sad that winter is coming.
Summer is almost end now...so sad fall is comming....lovely week lovefrom me Ria 💕💕
Sheri, your lovely post reminds me of how my favorite season is approaching! I love your beautiful photos of the signs of fall. You and Jess look so lovely dressed for the wedding. Your pretty earrings are perfect with your pretty dress. I'm with you when things get too hectic, I head to nature!
Hello Sheri ~ Thanks for the comments on the blog today. Looks like you have been busy. I understand about needing to get away for a bit. I love my alone time and just chilling with nature. I love being out and about when it turns this time of yr. I love the fall and I am getting so READY for it. I too have noticed the changes coming. Brown leaves, some red and really hoping that with the amount of rain we have had we have a beautiful and colorful fall. Just wished it lasted as long as summer and winter!!! But this is the way I feel about it right now....BRING IT ON! I have also noticed some really thick spider webs and yesterday a Holly tree covered with berries. I have always heard that a lot of berries mean food for the birds when it gets rough....waiting to see. Hoping for some SNOW this yr.
Oh, Sheri, you got some lovely captures, here. I a so missing nature...I have not been in the woods since before roger's stroke and I miss it so bad. I love the quietness, and the smells, and just everything about being in a forest. Or even just a patch of woods. We are seeing signs of fall, here, too. And when it rains, it even sounds like fall. There is just a different sound to a fall rain.
Meant to say that Jess is such a pretty girl!
Adorable post...I love your way of looking "life" around...I think you are laughing at my bad English,I am laughing too!Sorry and I hope you can understand!My husband always tells me:"-Write only b e a u t i f u l"! Lol!Blessings,my sweet Sheri!
I know what you mean about being pulled in so many directions. I'm seeing signs of fall too, and with that comes obligations. I loved each and every photo, Sheri, but the one of you two together made me smile the most!
I am totally in the same place as you - being pulled in multiple directions. Maybe I need a walk in nature too.
How in the world did you find that tiny snail in those leaves?
I agree totally about lizards.
That caterpillar is probably lost from a child don't you think?
I love your flowers.
We buy our wine at Trader Joe's too - but the cheap ones.
Well I enjoyed your walk with you and they did look like angels in the clouds.
I can't believe you are getting ready for fall.
I am so waiting for fall here. It is so hot.
Love, sandie
So many great little moments captured.. puts a smile on my face.
What a lovely post Sheri! You and Jess look beautiful for the wedding!
Well what a perfectly darling post! So many beautiful photos, Sheri. You look so adorable with your daughter. And that colorful caterpillar! Was that a child's toy from the Hungry Caterpillar that somehow got thrown into the tree and then got stuck there? So curious.
Ohhh, yes, signs of autumn here, too, but I will NOT call it autumn yet. Hope, we've got til Sept. 21. ha hahaha Thanks for all your visits and comments, Sheri. You are the best. Susan

Sheri just reading your post made me happy. Your photos...you and your daughter in the lovely maroon color...for sure two beautiful ladies - thanks for putting a smile on my face. Hugs!
Yes, I think that's a phoebe - so cute! Why don't you like lizards? I love them and I'm so happy to have a couple in my garden. While I also see some signs of autumn I do know that we still have quite some weeks of summer left, but I certainly look forward to fall.
So many great things here to see! We get the little lizards around here too and somehow my cat has found them inside and runs around with them and yes I admit I scream and run, lol... now that's a sight to see ;-) I'm like you...nature always seems to restore my soul.... Hope you are having a great week!
Blessings,
Jill

Oh Sheri your pics look amazing
all of them, and I am telling the truth :)
Your photo taking skills have really improved
through the years and I wish I have the eyes to
see beauty in simple things and natural things.
I sometimes feel the same way,
I just want to be quiet and be on my own
but most of the times that I am I would still
find some things to do...hahaha I really need
to stop doing things sometimes.
Especially time wasters.
Wonderful lighting on the photos too.
Have a wonderful weekend ♥

Lovely photos!! There is no sign of fall here in the South. It's over 100 degrees today.
I haven't been visiting much of anywhere lately---so here I am! What a great post. It looks like your autumn is even ahead of ours which is really surprising. No falling leaves here yet.
Love the picture of you and your daughters--twinsies! Love your earrings, too
Wonder what that 'caterpillar' will morph into? lol
Have a wonderful night- I, too, am feeling pulled in way too many directions. xo Diana
What a lovely photograph of you and Jess. The toast with honey looks yummy.
Such gorgeous pictures! And you and your daughter are both beautiful..you look like sisters! I absolutely love this post!
Wishing you a blessed, wonderful day.
Beautiful earrings! Oh fall is coming, yes it is! Love that you found that colorful caterpillar in the tree.

Nature gives us so much! And it always recharges and soothes us. Wonderful moments you captured with your camera! Thank you for sharing!
