Walking in the Snow

Lost Maples

It was a very dramatic fall this year in central Texas. We decided to get up in the wee hours to make it to this park before it fills up. During the fall it often closes within a couple hours of opening because there are too many people. It was beautiful and it smelled like fall. Something we don't really get in Austin.

Details: Words were cut out using the Opposites Attract Cricut cartridge. The paper is by Scenic Route as is the journaling block. The eyelets are by Making Memories.
