In the wink of an eye, another month has flown by and autumn's beauty surrounds us. This year, with warmer temperatures, it took a while for the autumn colours to bloom, but bloom they have. Joyful and invigorating oranges, reds, golds and still bright greens are everywhere you look.
These trees over by the boat launch always put on a show. As you can see, they are especially celebratory this year. In my books, they are as beautiful as fireworks.
And what you see is what you get--no colour enhancement here, although a tone down of the sun drenched trees to the right might have proved useful.
Light and shade.
Winter will soon be hard on the heels of autumn, so these books are at hand to keep my head full of flowers. They are all great, but the top and bottom ones are especially good.
On the cup, Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses. Wish I could paint a painting like that. Don't we all.
