Shades of autumn

There is just something about autumn.

The smell in the air...

The culmination of all the efforts of the previous months - planting, growing, harvesting...

The colors of dying plants exiting with panache...




It makes winter bearable.

Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! Psalm 113:5,6

Love the bug! Don't think I would have wanted to be that close though.

I drove the little critter crazy taking his picture. He kept winding around the tree branch trying to get away from me.

Amazing perspective. I was putting all my 100 pumpkins out around the yard yesterday thinking the opposite.. how dreary and sad it all looked. I like your perspective better. (And, yes, I mean 100 pumpkins... my kids went to the patch w/my neighbor and got greedy.)
