By calendar autumn arrived September 23rd this year, however I returned from Alabama with anything but autumn like weather. Stepping out of the Mpls. St. Paul airport it was still 80 degrees at 10:00 pm. That's amazing weather Minneapolis.
(of course heavy winds were on their way)

Monday, Carmi offered "Autumn" as our theme this week.
So, even if Mother Nature is still holding tight to summer, the explosion of a profusion of color is beginning, albeit rather slowly in signaling our autumn season.
The leaves have been tumbling ever so sweetly.
AUTUMN

Moments from Huntsville Botanical Gardens-
a lovely place that we never completely covered, even after being there all day!

Say horse, where's your cowboy?

A smile is the prettiest thing you can share.
"Here's looking at you, kid."
As we were leaving the Botanical Garden we captured this lovely view and had to investigate. All other photos of this location were far from autumn views.
I'm not picking any sides with this photo, it's just what someone left in the park.
That's it for autumn views for Thematic Photographic. It's great to be back. Now I'll have to check out what you've all been doing. Thanks for stopping by.

Those are really great pictures and that's a pretty cool botanical garden... :)
Wonderful pictures of my favorite time of year!
Cool structures in the garden. It's been warm here in New Jersey as well.....it's always fun to get away, but there's no place like home!!
80 in the Great Frozen North? (Sounds like something Mar would say, doesn't it?)
Nice shots. I thought spring was my fav time of the year, but maybe fall is. So gorgeous here even now. I can step out and not turn into a soggy, 200lb bag of sweat. Ahhhh
Autumn is always a delight. I hope yours comes to stay.
You have a gorgeous garden (backyard to you!) And I love the tin man and tin horse! Great Botanical Gardens, and look so much fun!
Hello Karen!:) It must be a huge Botanical Garden. I like the tin man and horse and the other figures. Makes it much more fun to meander around the gardens. I think I recognize a hat I used to wear!
Love the photo looking over that pumpkin at your pretty garden, also neat sculpure at the botanical garden. Beautiful blue sky and like the football shot too.
Those are such pretty pics Karen!
Cheers
Glad you enjoyed your time down south (but wondering why you didn't schedule the trip for February, lol)
I enjoyed the autumn pictures Karen, specially the rust horse and pumpkin ! Love this season ~
I kick and fight on welcoming autumn because I know what comes after. But what comes DuRING is glorious! And these photos show it off to pure perfection!
Autumn is the most photogenic season of all and here with a few rusty garden friends thrown in the mix... faaantastic Karen :)
What a neat garden, I love the metal or tin characters, now that's creative!
80 degrees, wow! Mind you we've had some pretty nice days here as well, in just doing a quick conversion we've had a few 70 - 75 degree days here as well, 80 just sounds so much nicer than 24c lol
Have a fantastic rest of the week Karen! Cheers.
Agree on that .... A smile is the prettiest thing you can share.
Autumn is my favorite season and October my favorite month....unless it happens to be July or December, they run nearly neck and neck.
Autumn in Alabama sure looks different from fall in Ontario! But it does have the look of the season changing.
Gorgeous autumn photos.
I wish I could find a fun botanical garden like yours. Great series of shots, Karen.
