The weathercock points its beak in a mottled blue sky
and tones of yellow and gold and rich brown fill the woods
a lone leaf rests its golden head on the fence
and the beech leaves glint in the afternoon sun
The green grass receives an eiderdown of copper
and the wooden bench beckons as I turn back to go home
Down the hill, back to my neighbourhood and admiring the colourful Larch trees on the way.
I'm so fortunate and grateful to have all these lovely areas
within easy walking distance of the town in which I live.
Beautiful pictures Sandra.... 2 and 3 are my favourites.....colors and light are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWish you a wonderful weekend.

It's so wonderful that you can capture these lovely images of where you live. Beautiful photography. I've been trying to take some "fall" shots myself but they don't look like yours!!

Love all the photos! What is the tree in the last photo - it looks like a fir tree but it can't be - the colour is wrong!

You live in a beautiful place, Sandra. It all looks so inviting--the beautiful trees and paths, the light shining through the leaves, and the well worn bench. Thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteThese shots are so lovely - almost all our autumn colours are long gone and I didn't get nearly enough of them! That bridge photo is wonderful - I'd like to walk right into the picture and find out what's around the bend. :)
ReplyDeleteautumn multicolor wonderful as always!

You caught the light beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate you are to have beauty like this within walking distance. I, too, love to walk out my door and enjoy the gift of nature. You are making wonderful use of the 50mm! I feel that #1, 3, & 4 take particular advantage of the lenses' strengths - the quality sharp focus along with the option for very shallow depth of field. Beautifully seen and captured!
Hoping to talk more shortly (before our strong winds have the chance to take out the power!)
Have a super weekend :)
Ah such lovely autumn pictures Sandra, it is a beautiful time of year isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are just gorgeous! I love the golds, coppers and bronzes of the leaves. And the simple beauty of your first image is wonderful, it has an uplifting feel to it.
ReplyDeleteI love your photography! Always such beautiful scenes and perfect lighting! I also love to read your blog! You have such a fantastic way with words! Your blog is a joy to visit!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful tribute to autumn! I felt like I was with you, enjoying a lovely walk along those inviting paths. Wonderful tones! I especially like the lone leaf on the fence. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSo much beautiful color in each if these wonderful photographs, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteI just love the second one.
It looks like a wonderfully peaceful path to be walking along.
Wow!! You have captured such amazing autumn beauty Sandra! I just love the colors, and small leaves of the beech tree. The bridge image is spectacular! We have a few trees left with leaves, but now most are dark silhouettes. Enjoy the color this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! What a lovely walk! Those yellow leaves are amazing!
