      I found those photographs very moving,so much so ,that Ive come over all poetic.

      How I would love to walk with thee in the woods today
      Watch the sunlight as it doth play
      Among the leaves and in your hair
      And on return,if you would risk it
      Make me a Honey-Pecan Biscuit :hug:

    I understand perfectly, Suzanne. The view on my West Virginia mountaintop is breathtaking no matter what the season. But, there is something magical about the Fall.

    These photos were a great way to start a cold, snowy Sunday morning. Since becoming aware of your blog it has become my early morning routine. You are truly blessed with your children, farm and all the critters. Euni in Colorado

    So beautiful! You should look into getting some of your photos printed and sell them. I could just imagine a wall of these pictures in my rooms.

    Absolutely breathtaking. For a few moments here I was back 15 years ago when I was still able to hike through the woods and in the mountains in the Fall.

    Hey, I was doing the same thing today–taking pictures of the perfect sunshine on our colorful leaves. And dried corn in the fields. And tunnels of green bushes with red berries.

    You have such a great eye for composition! Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful photos, it looks so amazing there. I love our Colorado mountains but we didn’t have much color for fall this year. The snows came too early for it. I have, however, had the pleasure of enjoying fall thanks to you and others posting their photos. So thank you. :) I love fall, it is my favorite season.

About Me

Suzanne McMinn



The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
