November Saturdays and Fall Colors

Happy Saturday...

Just thought that I'd share the beautiful view from our nice drive around the countryside this morning. This is my passenger seat view.

The fall colors are really coming through now. Nature is glorious! 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Saturday Photo

 

I took this photo this morning. I usually stop by this tree every Saturday. It was great to see the fall color coming through.

Happy Saturday 🍂

Nature's Beauty

 The beauty of nature close up is extraordinary to see. The pattern of this leaf is glorious!

Happy Friday!! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Weekend 2020

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

A Sunday in 2020

I just thought that I'd check in for a moment. Even though I'm more sporadic here these days, it's not due to lack of interest. I always wish that I had more to say when I come here, but like most human beings, this year especially has been having its way with me. It's difficult to gather my thoughts these days. But I guess that I should be kind to myself and just not force anything. I mean, we're all somehow getting through a pandemic, on top of political turmoil, with our own personal losses and worries thrown on top of this steaming pile of a year. 

Sometimes when I let my mind "go there", I'm astonished at how it seems that ten years have been packed into one. Maybe that's why I feel tired all the time. 

Here's to better days ahead and more to say here :-)

I hope that you have a good week wherever you are.

Weekend in October

 

The Last Sunday of September

I took this photo a year ago today. It doesn't look like this this year yet, because the leaves haven't changed this much, but I know it's coming. 🍁🍂

Happy Last Sunday of September!

Fall 2018

One of my favorite seasons is arriving this weekend...Fall aka Autumn!!! (By the way, my other favorite season is Spring.)

I love all of the vibrant colors in the trees and the way the fallen leaves scatter across my path as I walk along. There is so much beauty.

I've written about Fall a lot on this blog, even if it's just sharing a photo or two. Here are a few of my Fall-ish posts over the years if you'd like to check them out:

I hope wherever you are in the world...whether it's Autumn where you are or Spring in the southern hemisphere, I hope that you enjoy the renewal of this new season.

Backyard Beauty

I just thought that I'd share this photo that I took this morning. It's the view out to our backyard. I love it when flowers peek around the edges of leaves. Nature is beautiful.

November

Have a great new month!

Fall Color

I saw all of this gorgeous color on the way home today. 

Fall is definitely here.

The Hopeful Bench

I took this photo over the weekend while I was in the passenger seat, as hubby and I were out and about doing our Saturday errands. As I've mentioned before, I love trees...whether they have leaves of green or various colors or even when the leaves have fallen off or been blown away by the wind. Every since I was a little girl, they've always given me comfort. I'm not ashamed to say that when I was a little girl, I even talked to them. They listened to me. I know it may sound crazy, but I don't care...those talks got me through a lot as a kid. It was sort of like having an early diary and the trees were taking dictation  :)

These are trying times in our world, but I know that we will get through them. We always do somehow. So when I saw these beautiful trees on that steely grey Saturday morning, I had this thought and these are the words that I shared with this picture on Instagram.

"The leaves are gone for now, but the beauty still remains." 

- Me

The world is still a beautiful place despite the crap that happens daily. I'm not naive by any stretch of the imagination, but I always try to be hopeful with a side order of skepticism. So that's where you'll find me...over here on the hopeful bench ;-)

Have a wonderful day wherever you are!

All of the Yellowness

So the last time I posted, I mentioned that the leaves around here hadn't changed very much, well ask and you shall receive. It seems that a couple of days after I wrote those words, nature decided to ask...

What you talkin' about Dori?

LOL!!! 

I took these pictures a couple of days ago and lemme tell you, the tree across the street just went crazy all of a sudden. It's like the trees got together and said, "Let's show her what we can do!"

 Wow, have they been doing it :) Everything is just beautiful! I thought about how perfect it is that the tree right across the street decides to really give us all of the amazing yellowness...I mean after all, this is the Yellow House ;-)

I've never seen it so beautifully yellow and I love it!

Happy weekend!

Bits of Fall

Happy Friday!

I thought that I'd share this photo that I took a couple of years ago. As I've mentioned many times before, I love fall...it's my favorite season. This beautiful tree with its yellow leaves gets me into an autumn frame of mind. I loved taking that walk that day  :)

The trees still haven't changed around here a whole lot, but when they do I'm hoping to get some pictures to share.

Have a great weekend! :)

The Changing Leaves

Today I thought that I'd share one of my favorite photos. I took this a couple of years ago and I've shared it here before, but I thought that I'd share it again. It puts me into a good mood...an autumny mood :) Fall is my favorite season and whenever I see this picture I think of the leaves changing colors, warm drinks, and lovely layered clothes and boots.

The leaves are still very green here, but I know that soon the leaves will start putting on their colorful show. I'll do my best to try to capture some of it and share it here.

Are the leaves changing where you are? Leave a comment and let me know  :)

Have a great day!
