The reddening October trees....
Are we not better and at home
In dreamful Autumn, we who deem
No harvest joy is worth a dream?
A little while and night shall come,
A little while, then, let us dream...

So pretty! Love the pictures of the lake, the leaves are beautiful. So that's how my astilbe would look like if I didn't cut it, will try to leave up next year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed. The lake is right down the road within walking distance so I can watch the colors changing by the day. I got these photographs right after a rain when the colors just seemed to pop and wanted to share! The Astilbe make for a nice dried flower after the season is done. Have a nice weekend!
DeleteAll the moaners need to stop by here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ricki. A lot of folks complain about fall but it sure is beautiful. I do look forward to spring and summer more but have to admit I certainly enjoy the changes in the seasons and ever-changing landscape...keeps things interesting! Have a great weekend!
DeleteWhat a great collection! Tom The Backroads Traveller

DeleteBeautiful fall photos! The pumpkin was so unique with the tree circles on it. And the woodland path looked so inviting! Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. I found the bark pumpkin in a local nursery and am enjoying it and the woodland path is just right down the street and extends a few miles for walking. Thanks for visiting and a Happy Fall to you!
DeleteWonderful autumn photos! I love the lake and the swans.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and commenting Gunilla. I was glad to be able to capture and share the autumn colors before the rain and winds that arrived today. :-)

ReplyDeleteFall does have its moments! Glad you enjoyed and thank you for visiting and commenting!
DeleteI love Camus' quotation -- perfect. This is a beautiful posting, Lee. Autumn has passed its peak here and we've had a hard frost; just lovely fall memories remain. It's sad to see the end of the gardening season, but I'm ready for a period of rest. P. x
ReplyDeleteMe too Pam-it really puts things into perspective. I try to think of winter as a way of making all the wonderful spring blooms even more exciting! Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteYour fall colors are so awesome! I miss them a lot since moving to New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed Betty. New Zealand sure is beautiful though as I can see from your photography. Have a great week!
DeleteAhhh, so beautiful, autumn is so photogenic, right? Thanks for the tour, I enjoyed that :-)

DeleteReally gorgeous images of fall!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and for the kind words Donna. I am glad you enjoyed the photos!
DeleteI fell nostalgic looking at your fall series of photos- already the trees are bare here and we are into those first bleak days of November. A chill is definitely settling in to the air now and soon enough there will be snow.
