THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
WINTER is the shadow, the etching of the seasons in the mist
WINTER is the fire, simmering lonely in the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
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)

Spring! It's such a joyful time of year and the skies are celebrating with priceless gold. Very nice, Gemma!
Looks like liquid gold. Just beautiful!
OOOh, these are really wonderful, Gemma. You did it again! :-) Thanks for sharing and greetings from the Netherlands
Now I know where my summer has gone...it moved South...ha! There is a sense of sadness all around here, as we say goodbye to summer and await what the winter will bring.
Each day brings us closer to the cold that shackles us to our living rooms, too cold to leave it's shelter...we struggle just to get to work.
As I wander my yard, the chatter of the wren is long gone, I have not seen a robin in days...the squirrels are putting up nut after nut...this is not a good sign, the signs of a harsh winter to come...we are all weary of them and dream of moving to warmer climes, however the economy doesn't warrant getting too excited about those moves.
I've been very busy trying to get new accounts before the freeze, haven't had much time to talk to my bloggy friends, please forgive, but you are always in my thoughts dear friend.
Enjoy your new spring and I will enjoy my fall to it's fullest until the big freeze arrives.
See ya at SSS...always a wonderful get together...love the shot of Shadow through the door window, what a cutie!
Hugs a bunch!

The native birds seem to have been very busy lately. I haven't seen any jays for awhile, maybe they have gone back to the mountains.
