Autumn Thoughts


I love fall! Fall is exciting.
It's apples and cider.
It's an airborne spider.
It's pumpkins in bins.
It's burrs on dog's chins.
It's wind blowing leaves.
It's chilly red knees.
It's nuts on the ground.
It's a crisp dry sound.
It's green leaves turning
And the smell of them burning.
It's clouds in the sky.
It's fall. That's why...
I love fall.

I love the contrasting autumn colors also. Great photo and wonderful colors Judy. Sometimes it almost makes your soul hurt because everything is so beautiful, the first of spring is like that too.

An amazing photo of the colours of autumn, One of the few things I miss about NZ, the colours in the Botanical Gardens at this time of the year.

Thanks, Judy, for my daily "fix" this time with a thoughtful poem. Yes, the fall this year in Washington State has been awesome.

I'm looking out my window right now and Fall is leaving cold. It's dark, rainy and gloomy. But Fall in your neck of the woods is as pretty as a picture.

It's a miserable wet day here, Judy, so I could just sit here and stare at your beautiful photo all day!

I'm enjoying all the posts showing fall photos. Not being in the Midwest during the fall, we don't see too many fall colors. So thanks for your fall photo!

I love your new header photo by the way.

A beautiful tree surrounded by the varied colours of Fall, like a palette, set off by the green. Nice verse that goes.

This has been such a gorgeous autumn, as evidenced by your capture of such beauty. I love that tiny red tree in the center of the photo. And your header shot is great, too!

Thanks for stopping around my blog and leaving your nice comment. Things have been pretty busy the last two weeks and I haven't had much time to blog hop.

Hope you have a great weekend!
