Right after heavy rains, the front went through and the sky
The sun shown down and caused glistening raindrops
glowing golden leaves
vivid orange mums
and multicolored maples
~No wonder autumn is a favorite season for so many~
Autumn is youthful, mirthful, frolicsome ~ the child of summer’s joy ~ and
on every side there are suggestions of juvenility and mischief.
on every side there are suggestions of juvenility and mischief.
While spring is a careful artist who paints each flower
with delicate workmanship,
autumn flings whole pots of paint about in wild carelessness.
The crimson and scarlet colours reserved for roses and tulips are
splashed on the brambles till every bush is aflame, and the
old creeper-covered house blushes like a sunset.

What a treat this beautiful post is!! Thank you so much for sharing the gorgeous pics and words!
Such gorgeous autumn colors. I hope that it stops raining soon around here and I get to enjoy a little more of autumn before it turns in to winter.
Those trees are gorgeous and your photography captures them perfectly.
Beautiful photos, I am afraid our trees are not going to be too pretty this year, too hot and too dry
Ooooh, I love your photograpy skills! Beautiful..
Your pictures are absolutely stunning! And that's a great idea to freeze your herbs, but even with them the pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! Enjoy your day!
I absolutely appreciate you sharing your photographic talent! It is a wonderfully cozy, reflective and somehow comforting time of year. Your pictures capture it's essence beautifully!
