One Friday in November we went to the Dunwoody Nature Center. Meg and Nate took their nature study notebooks and water colors and I packed paint and paper for Kate and Caleb. We spent some time collecting and painting specimens and playing around in the beautiful woods. The outing was even more fun since Erik took the morning off to join us.
Photo opportunities like this always make me wish I knew how to really use a camera. It seems nearly impossible to get the composition and lighting correct at the same time that all my subjects are cooperating. Maybe I could start by reading the manual that came with my camera and experimenting with something beyond the "auto "setting... Anyway, we enjoyed a gorgeous day together and I think it generally comes across in the pictures.
We're not trying to be artistic or pensive or romantic or anything here. We just weren't quite ready when the camera woman snapped the shot.

Since our last visit (which was during the drought) I had forgotten about the stream. A little too cold to get wet this time, but we can't wait to go back in the spring to wade and build dams and see things in bloom!
