Girl by the River

Last month Betsy and I went to Pine Mountain, Kentucky, to meet up with blog friends Patti and Neal.  We didn’t see as much autumn color as we would have liked, but we did get in some hiking and had a great time.

On our way home we stopped by the Emory River.  We’ve often crossed the river at this point, but had never stopped at picnic grounds near the bridge.  This time we stopped.

After walking down to the river, which was very low, I went back to the car to get my tripod.  When I returned I found my Beautiful Bride deep in thought, as you can see in the photo above.

Betsy heard me take the first picture, and turned to see what I was up to.

A little later I got a picture of my Beautiful Bride with a hint of autumn color behind her.  Her smile was as bright as that blue sky above us.

    I like seeing pictures of people who don’t know that their picture is being taken. Of course,seeing Betsy’s smile is also a good thing.

    Betsy is tiny now, and these pictures make her look even smaller amid the huge beauty of nature.
