Jing Ye Si

We spent our Saturday afternoon hiking up a mountain to a Buddhist temple called Jing Ye Si. The hike was paved with  stone stairs and there was a railing so we didn't have any accidents this hiking trip. The kids were troopers and the scenery was breath taking.
The e trees are starting to change colors and there is a slight nip in the air. I miss the smell of fall, i.e. pumpkin spice, wood burning stoves and apple pie, but it's nice to have a little taste of fall weather.
A short drive from the temple was a huge Buddhist statue.  We weren't sure if we could hike up to it and we were tired, so we took a picture of the statue from the road.
