still fabulously FALL-ing...

I spent more time around the radio station capturing falling shades up against granite and other beautifully rugged backdrops.  Pat and Heather Eddolls came to join on the air during this last day of sharathon about there exciting trip to Guatamala for the next 12 days or so with Food for the Hungry.  I can't  help but be so excited for them as they make their jetway to a tropical culture as neither of them have had any geographically international experience.  In response to my last plea, Heather assured me she'd be taking photos-a-plenty [and video] with her 4mp camera phone.

Japan-like

PURPLExing Arizonian beauty.....

beautifully blending shades

fabulous FALL-ing

Someone picked beautiful foliage for the radio station landscape

Mike suggested I take a pic with the sun behind the tree ....GREAT suggestion!

The red shades are my favorite

The bush is green in the spring and summer.  Yet, the vibrant color change in the fall is ever so stunning!

Tori found a tiny ladybug in the grass white fluffies

Sundown at the station....with another one of those tree beauties

The girls collected leaves and brought them in
