“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.” ― Stanley Horowitz

 

This mosaic called autumn is a feast for the eyes.

The leaves on the Ash trees along our street have turned slowly this year, from deep green to plum, then burgundy and golden. The statuesque Maple out our back windows still burns a vibrant orange and yellow, the perfect compliments to a pure blue sky.

The leaves, spinning, twirling in the breeze have enough whimsy to be from a fairy tale, and yet they pile in our grass, waiting to be raked and leapt in.

This autumn season is beautiful.

Autumn Beauty: a Photojournal

It’s as if autumn were the indicator to slow down and see what surrounds us as we careen into the end of another year.

It’s nature’s way of showing us splendor and sunshine before it all fades away for a while.

In 10 weeks, we will turn the calendar page to 2015 and it will be a new year. It is a chance to sit for a few moments.

This Beauty Called Autumn …

My Instagram photos from the past week or so. Can you tell I’m enamored with autumn?

I’d love to hear what trees and colors and autumnal things you’re loving this year … thanks for sharing!
