Seasons and Special Times

According to the calendar we changed seasons one day last week. While most people divide the year into four seasons, for me - at least at the cabin - there are two seasons. Season 1 includes the many months when the dock is in the water. Season 2 would be the rest of the year (a much more disappointing time). As of mid-morning today, Season 1 arrived as our third oldest grandchild learned how to help me put the dock in the water. Now we need to use it!

A second indicator of the changing of seasons happens when nightcrawlers are readily available. This nice crawler appeared as the kids and I were picking up gravel from the yard. I could not share it with anyone.

This afternoon I had the honor of watching our youngest as he napped. I know these types of pictures are different than I normally shoot, but as he peacefully slept I could not help but record a couple of images of the moments.

After naps we took the boys for a hike at Sweet Marsh where we burned off plenty of energy and saw geese, ducks, and blew milkweed seeds.
