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.
~ 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)

happy sss.

Enjoy!

What a beautiful shot..I envy you, being in spring..we just had snow, even though it was a dusting, the other day. Not looking forward to it. Oh well..
Happy SSS.
Yes, those sure are colours of smiling! Beautiful geraniums and shadows.
Te flowers are beautiful, and the shadows are fantastic. In normal lighting, a pink monochrome we see, with shadows, the tone is a dusty rose, almost a dark lavender. Stunning, the shadows add more beauty to already beautiful flora!
Very cheerfulland smiling faces those flowers wear for me today...tis grey, cold and wet here. You brightened my day sweet~

As always your photos make me smile, a long distance friendship harboring souls with like minds for the beauty and comfort in the views of nature...out our doors, windows or walking 'long side, we share thoughts in the great scheme of things.
I hope your work load is winding down, as mine is too with the change of the season...trade ya, though we are having a wonderfully warm Indian summer right now, with temps in the high 60s, we hold our breath, knowing it won't last long, some have already seen snows...dread sets in...let's change the subject...how 'bout a hot piece of pie and a strong cup of coffee???
Me and Scratchy will sit on the porch again tonight and take photos of our beautiful sunset...Mark Twain said they were the best he'd ever seen, he spent many a night in our fair city, traveling up and down the river on paddle boats, what an adventure that must've been, the wilds he must've seen.
Have a wonderful week ahead dear friend...many, many hugs from abroad!!!

So very pretty!
Oh Gemma...spring brings such joy doesn't it....Michelle
Very lovely! I like the title also. It's perfect! What a gorgeous garden you must have Gemma. Much much prettier than mine I imagine!
Any time you want to come and look after my geraniums, we will be most welcome! The weather looks fabulous down there - we are at last getting some sunshine after days of wild storms. Ah, Spring - great time of the year.
that is gorgeous!
Come and find out on how to become tall at my page.
I envy them, for
what do geraniums know
of joy or sorrow?
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
