I could hear this couple’s laughter across the lake. And when I looked through my lens I could see them smiling at each other happily while drinking presumably a hot beverage in a flask. The setting sun shone across the lake highlighting the autumnal colors in the most glorious light. They seemed oblivious (which was good, I would hate for them to see me as a slightly creepy person staring at them through my camera lens across the lake from amongst the trees😂) but their joy was contagious. Funny how we can be so involved in a moment of contentment or joy and directly affect someone else positively without ever even knowing it. It can also hold true to the opposite effect - think about the hustle of busy holiday shopping when you’re surrounded by scowling tired shoppers, it’s like a disease and pretty soon you may find yourself tired and crabby as well😅) I am a people watcher I confess, I enjoy watching and taking in different interactions and it always brings me joy to watch others experiencing joy especially in the most simplest of ways. Maybe that’s why my favorite images here on Flickr are of the simple moments or captures. A squirrel enjoying a nut, a deer enjoying a pumpkin, or even an unknown stranger enjoying their time out with their spouse or child for an autumn walk. I hope this brings a smile to your face as well. Much love to you my friends ♥️ love always, Rachel

Spent a lovely weekend at Caddo Lake and enjoyed the fall foliage immensely. It has a unique kind of beauty to it. The Spanish moss hanging from the trees gives it a spooky and surreal look. I stayed several hours and was lucky to get some different views of the lake with different lighting in different places. I have to admit that when I visited Caddo in the summer I was unimpressed. Although unique I found it hot, muggy and swampy 😅 funny how a change in temperature and color can transform an experience. Muggy forest became magical with autumnal color and cool crisp weather along with crunchy leaves underfoot made for a happy fall day. We brought the cold fresh pressed apple cider to enjoy at the picnic areas after a refreshing hike and I had a hard time leaving this time around. Hope to upload more from this trip over the weekend. While Christmas decorations are going up everywhere I am still in full fall mode as colors here in East Texas are finally peaking. 😄 Christmas can wait, I want to enjoy Autumn with all of my heart ♥️ love you all, have a blessed upcoming weekend 💋
