Mountain Mondays
We spent some time On the Road this past weekend (more to come later!). Since I was missing the mountains, I was glad to see these photos this morning. Have a wonderful week!

Stunning! Wish I was outside right now.
Beautiful and just the perfect autumn – what I love the best!
Did you come to visit and not tell me? I have those sedum and a birdhouse EXACTLY like that one in my backyard. You should have told me; I would have fixed coffee! (Yes, you know…wishful thinking!)
that first picture takes my breath away

Ahhhh, I can breathe again! I love fall and the mountains.
It definitely is relaxing to be in the mountains and so pretty as the seasons change.
I needed to see these beautiful photographs today. Your post made me sit back and reflect on all the beauty around us…thank you. It has been a rough few days, and it is so easy to lose sight.
wonderful pictures
A great post to start the week! As much as I don’t like the cold, I love that crispness in the air and the color of the leaves. It’s truly magical.
So calming and beautiful, Gwen. Thank you for sharing…wish I could see it for myself and hear the sound the water makes.
I enjoy your photos so much, makes starting the new week worth it…….
For passing along these wonderful pictures of a place I can’t visit when I want and for being the giving, generous person you are, there is an award for you on my site. I hope you’ll go and accept it. Cheers.
Gorgeous photos…
Beautiful. This has been a truly lovely fall so far!
Breathtaking! Thanks for reminding me why I like autumn so much 🙂
