THE MEANING OF AUTUMN


Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Nearly Spring Sunlight and Shadows

Squiggly shadow shapes
Waiting for the flesh of Spring
Gaunt hunger and thirst

Lovely shot, Gemma! Our fall is approaching and I'll soon be looking at bare trees, but it has been a lovely summer!

Have a great day!

Thank you for the sunshine...keep um coming...I'll be requesting them frequently from you dear friend.

Right now our weather is perfect 70 degrees n sunny, no rain in sight, not too hot, not to cold, the nights are perfect for sleeping and dreaming...what more could a gal ask for...besides an ocean view.

Keep watchin the waves and get a whiff of that wonderful salt air for me...and I'll keep dreaming of living in warmer climes...

Have a wonderful week sister, give a big hug to your lil' Shadow Goddess for me...see ya...s

Nice tree shadows falling on such lovely green grass! And I love the addition of the special guest shadow appearance from that little bird! Oh I'm so excited about spring arriving! Actually here in Brisbane it seems like spring arrived about 3 weeks ago! Yay!

What a pretty spring shadow! We have to say, though, that we're a bit jealous that you are heading toward a srping and summer as we head into fall & winter!
Enjoy your weekend!

I love tree shadows, and that is a particularly pretty one. The bird adds a wonderful spark of life to the photo, too.

Lucky you, with spring coming.

That tree still looks very bare, I love the nearly Spring sunlight and the shadows it gives. Just now I noticed the birds after reading the above comment. LOL.

Have a great week!
