This Time of Year at Silver Springs

I kind of wish it was Fall all year long.  

I feel the most calm this time of year.  

My last visit to Plano, I couldn't resist heading

out to Silver Springs.  There's something comforting 

about visiting a place you're so familiar with.

I spent quite a bit of time there as a kid.

I remember every fall Grandpa Johnson & I would

drive through there.  We'd never get out- just 

drive through and look at the leaves and 

Grandpa would always say,

"Golly, it sure is pretty this time of year." 

I cruised through the park, with several stops-

camera in hand & the new 

 Glen Hansard album blaring out of my little Aveo's speakers.

(I'm a huge fan of Track 07.)

It was a perfect day to do so.

Slightly rainy, so hardly anyone was there at all.

There was a park ranger that drove by, rolled his window down

and said, "It's beautiful this time of year, isn't it?"

I couldn't agree more Mr. Park Ranger.

I couldn't agree more.
