Signs of Fall

Hands down, fall is my favorite season.  When I was a child, fall meant the beginning of the school year, and yes, I was one of those nerdy kids who liked going to school.  The temperatures cool down in the fall and the nights grow crisp.  I met and fell in love with my husband in the fall. 

Slowly, we are seeing signs of fall here in the Ozarks. 

I noted some monarch butterflies the other day.  And I hope you can make out what I saw in this photo.

This diligent spider had been working hard, constructing a massive web, in hopes of catching lots of intruders.  It was beautiful and a reminder of the wonder of creation.
