Autumn... "In a bottle".... ,-)

Beautiful berries...

A good-sized-rock, at the beginning of a path...

Colors of Autumn...

A tree stump, along the path...  Scattered with fallen leaves and pine needles.  I've heard-tell those pine needles make lovely mulch for plants, over winter.  They look warm-and-cozy, just to view pine needles, don't they?  :-)

Gorgeous...  But why so many, still on the tree?  Are they poisonous, I wonder?

Crystal clear sky...

Wild progression of color changes, on one scrub bush...

Vine variations...

Husband, going out for papers, reports frost on the car.  Seems the Frost Faeries, managed that much.  :-)  But  the flowers have not really been painted with silver sparkles, yet...  

Yet!

Summer... Summer... Summer...

Local fruits of Summer...  Jewels in the morning...  Sparkling sweetness...

Summer afternoon...  Summer afternoon...  Not the English one, of Henry James...  But ours is lovely too.  So, so, so lovely.

Sun dappled freshly cut grass, and patio...  Old Adirondack chairs beckoning, to come sit a while...  Rest...  Enjoy...  Peaceful time...

The pot on the front step...  Carrying on my Patriotic Summer Theme, this year.  This is our second planting here.  Earlier beautiful Begonias were water-logged and rotted by all the rain.  (And by a not well draining pot...  Sigh...)  

 Went for a morning walk, by the "Forest Primeval", as I love to call it.  We are so lucky to have these lovely woods, near by...  Why don't I walk, every morning?  Good question.  I used to do so...

 Perhaps this perfect morning's walk, will be the start of a new pattern.  

I hope...  I hope...  I hope...
