I especially love the pink in these first two photos.

In this one I like how the shadows are reflecting on the mountain.

I really like how the sun was shinning on the top of the trees(note: the leaves are starting to turn yellow because Fall is right around the corner.)

The Apple Orchard

As I came around the bend I started approaching the apple orchard. On the floor below, the crunching of the leaves were as loud as the crackling fire place. The pleasing odor the ripe apples gave and the long waving grasses that touched my dress as I walked by reminded me of a time long ago, when I was young. The birds were chirping moving to and fro amongst the stripped branches of the undergrowth, while the hummingbirds were busily sucking away at a nearby wild currant bush, the bees were occupied pollinating the lovely scented deep yellow flowers that were along the path of the orchard. Away from the orchard I could see the sparkling water flowing south through the creek down to the elbow below and the trickling sound it made was like rain pouring down on a gutter spout. After I stood there for a few minutes listening to all the melodic sounds near me, I finally continued down the path to this rather jagged apple tree. Within reach I picked a ruby colored apple. The taste in my mouth was delightful, never had I tried such an appetizing piece of fruit that this rough looking tree had produced. My day was complete.

For composition I had to write a paragraph from an event or a place. I had to describe what everything was like around me...

Friendship

A friend is someone whom you can depend on. They will

always be there for you when times are tough. A friend is

likened to you as a bee is to a flower – one that will always

be near. You may tell all your thoughts and secrets to your

friend and know that they will be kept. Friendship seems to

be the one gift that keeps on giving. There are some friends

that quickly come and go in your life, but there are others

that will stay.

IF

IF.....

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling
