this weekend was my church’s wonderful annual women’s retreat. my favorite weekend of the year, it’s really just a 24-hour retreat, but everyone who goes enjoys the opportunity to relax, read, sleep, walk, chat, craft, snack and generally do whatever we need to do to rejuvenate. this year, i enjoyed a “photo-meandering” walk around the lake, collecting snail shells and taking pictures. i love the sparkling light points on this brown leaf floating in the water. i also loved the fact that we gained an extra hour on this weekend of all weekends!
