I can't get enough...

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
-George Eliot



Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
-Stanley Horowitz





Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. -
Elizabeth Lawrence


Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
-Albert Camus

I love your fall photos. They are incredible. I surely wish we had falls such as yours. The quotes are so fitting. Thanks for dropping in.

Hi Barbara-

Right after I have come home from work each day this week the colorful foilage in my yard looks so photo worthy as the sun sets. I keep wanting to take pictures of it. Thanks for sharing yours - so beautiful - Nature.
My best- Diane

Love all of your photography shots, since I live in the desert also always interest in seeing how others see our area.

And my name is Barbara also. :)

Your photos are gorgeous. Absolutely love the one on the previous post where you are looking up at the brilliant yellow canopy.
I had to get back with you and tell you that I went to Flickr and downloaded the labels for Halloween. Didn't get to use them this year as I wasn't feeling that well the night of the party, but I have them now. How fun that he would share them. Have a great Fall. Ours has been fabulous.

Loved looking at your photos. It was so dry this year we did not see much color here! Look what I missed!

These are absolutely phenomenal photographs, and I am wildly in love with that last one, Barbara! Fantastic! I dropped by to visit your tablescape (which I enjoyed), but I thoroughly enjoyed perusing your blog. We don't have much fall in Florida with the exception of the rain trees in magnificent bloom, so I love to see leaves. Thanks!

XO,

Sheila :-)

Your photos are extraordinary. I'm not much of a Fall person, but I really appreciated the quotes you provided as a narrative to your amazing pictures. My favorite, though, is the last one from your previous post. Stunning!

I just love your Fall photos! I sure to miss all the changing leaves. Such a beautiful site.

Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my Tday table. I hope you are able to have your outside feast too!

Beautiful. I read some of these quotes last month while searching online. I absolutely love the first one and so agree. It is by far my favorite season of all. I just wish it would slow down and not leave us so quickly.

Thank you for stopping by. I can see I'm not the only one loving those Chirp dishes. ;) Maybe I can find similar ones, you think? Worth a try. Keep your fingers crossed. ;)

Have a beautiful Saturday.
