Inspiration for Writing: Fall

I'm back with some fun photos of Fall in Colorado.  
There's something about Fall that just gets the creativity going, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Here's our crazy ninja dog with his favorite piece of driftwood:

Matt's parents made a huge contribution to buying me a new camera for my birthday and this is one of the shots I was able to get with the macro setting.  When I zoom in, I can see the little hairs on his legs!  Pretty awesome.  Hopefully no one will be using the macro setting on my legs.

We spent a weekend up in the mountains to celebrate our birthdays with friends and we had a great time.  

Here's a cuddly chipmunk that Axle had a great time chasing: isn't he photogenic?


Beautiful view at Kenosha Pass: nothing I can say could possibly add to this.

Axle resting on our hike:  he did a great job considering he hasn't been able to be too active with his leg surgeries.  He is now 100% healed and we are working with him to bring his endurance back up and his weight back down.

Lake Dillon: it was pretty chilly, but the weather made for some great photos.


Another update:  our home is getting close to being finished.  I am so excited to have our home whole again.  We have to finish the floor in the kitchen and dining room and do quite a bit of detail work, but we are shooting to have it all finished in October.  

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, prayers and encouragement.  It's been a tough year all around it seems- but we're keeping our spirits up and starting to get life back to normal.
