Thematic Photographic # 165 Welcome autumn

THIS IS A THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC POST

.....one more look into autumn around where I live......

Things are a changing.......

On a side street in Saint Paul, in the Crocus Hill neighborhood....where the houses and mansions are large and distinctive and mostly built between 1890-1920....the leaves still change, and fall swiftly to the ground...waiting for their last duty of crackle and crunch.....



Such immense, rambling ivy slowly changing colors..leaf by leaf...each day another change.....How lucky they are to have this ivy....it's a delicate keeper, taking a healthy hold across this house....who needs curtains?




Sailing into autumn's wake....leaf by leaf.



I used to believe that autumn colors arrived only by the frosts that covered all the living.....and that was not exactly so....



My last TP post showed this spot two weeks ago after a gentle frost, and fog lingering throughout....today (our high was 86) it's beginning to turn....ever so slightly...and we haven't had a moment of frost......

Amazing isn't it?

but even better...


I made a wreath for our deck out of nature's free autumn art-supplies.....right from my own yard!

So, if you're feeling like adding your own autumn view.... put away your rakes, turn off the football game and post an autumn photo too!

How is your autumn?  Hopefully you haven't had any of that white stuff falling about....

Thematic Photographic # 165 Welcome Autumn

THIS IS A THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC POST....and today we

                    "WELCOME AUTUMN"

          Thank you Carmi, from Written Inc. blog....... for a delightfully colorful burst of photos... to grace our screens all week......

          I will try to reveal autumn .....we are still enjoying a late summer's end.....with highs near the 80's all week again....I could get so used to this........

....a gentle reminder of autumn's descent ....


My favorite summer buddy.....we spend so many summer hours together.....just the two of us.......!!!!!!!!

This summer's adventures are just about over......with these fallen leaves paving the way....dear buddy we shall part until late spring of next year.....


You know it's time to "Welcome autumn" when you wake up one morning and "Fog, has arrived and spots of early morning frost welcome autumn's awaited approach....with mixed feelings for me....shot two weeks ago now....


A festive autumn tradition lies....below...
A wine tasting at nearby Cannon River Winery where tastings are a simple pleasure ...and most delicious since Minnesota grapes survive the toughest of winters in jolly good spirits..... (photo taken last Friday)



The weeds of summer have weaved a perfect autumn garland throughout our evergreen tree. (photo taken last week)

....surprisingly...and luckily....this photo below is exactly where we are in relation to Welcome autumn......


Just a gentle reminder that summer is fast fading away....this photo taken today...but as I was snapping it, another reminder of what is coming was the crackling of other leaves behind me trickling down another tree....

Do you want this autumn feeling to last a bit longer?  Then go here and if you care to share your own autumness...we'd love to see it!
