one of my favorite times of the year



Autumn

Such a favorite of mine,
but why?
The colors so vivid,
but last only a little while.
Smells of apples and pumpkins and cinnamon...



only to make way for turkey and cranberry,
at least here in the USA.
Then to peppermint and gingerbread.
Is it me or do i always talk about food
and flavors
and smells,
as if they are all there is.
Well maybe they are a big part of it.
Halloween today.
All hallows eve,
a celebration of those who have gone before,
it is a good one to celebrate!
There is a stimulation coming to paint again,
but also so much to do!
I hope thing allow me to so my heart that way again!

I went our for a drive today and it had all popped. What you pictured had happened here too. Oh I love it!

Fabulous photos of Autumn, Joey! As you so aptly describe, tastes and smells are such a big part of all that is Autumn ... Guess that's because Autumn brings the harvest and the reaping of such a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, which are best enjoyed when baked, cooked and shared in the form of food and drink. Enjoy your Autumn, Joey, and thanks for sharing the lovely pictures. =)

Love that huge red tree - what kind is it? We don't have much tree colour in autumn here - too temperate a climate but they do in the South Island - it's so lovely. Cheers
