This tree was chosen by us on the first anniversary of our first date, which also happened to be a month after we got married. So watching its growth has been a special and fun tradition.
I love to look back over all of the photos to also see how the landscape has changed. From a tree surrounded by field to the development of flower beds and fencing, the addition of greenhouse and kennel, the move of the vegetable garden from the South side of the house to the North side of the house, growth of surrounding bushes, addition and sad subtraction of pet family members. Even seeing the varying shades of color change in the tree itself has been fun, indicating either tardiness of photo taking or unusually mild seasons.
Our photo was snapped 9 days late this year (goal is always October 10), and still the color is just beginning to change. But my heart is full when I look at this image, because the happiest moments of my life are when I'm surrounded by these three people, the very dearest gifts to my heart.

That is such a beautiful tradition!
You look so very thin and pretty. I'm Robin who bought your lion sampler. Remember me? I've retired early and moved a bit north. But I'm still around and I wanted so long to contact you. Your photography has gotten better and better and better. I admire your talents and loving heart.
What a wonderful tradition and beautiful family you have! :)
