Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day in Canada. So if you are in Canada, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My the
seasons have moved fast this year. So fast that I feel like I'm in a time
slip. Spring, although late, (it always seems late ;) and summer...so
lovely. And now slipping through the cracks: autumn: a blast of
gorgeousness and refined beauty. What luck, this year, to have such wonderful
seasons.
Clearly, I haven't mention winter. It, of course, it's not without beauty, but since I lived in the Arctic for many years, with winter arriving in October and leaving the end of June, or later, I do so appreciate spring, summer, and fall. And I wish, each year, that they could linger just a little longer.

If I could capture the reflected light,
I'd love to paint these lilies. Oil paints would work, but
I don't own any oils, nor do I know much about them. ( Monet comes to mind. He could make a painting sing.)

Yellow pond lilies.
What a wonderful pattern on the water and O that reflected light. |
Going to seed in a beautiful way...

Lovely photos! Enjoy it while it lasts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn.
DeleteO, yes for sure. I am out there enjoying fall as much as I can!
Beautiful autumnal photos and I love your cowl. Thank you for your comment on my blog. I tried to reply by email but it keeps bouncing back and says your email address doesn't exist. I thought I'd let you know in case it's happening to other people emailing you too, Janine :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos of the world around you, Dixie! You captured the softness in “Going to seed” photo beautifully. I love spotting fungi. So many colours and patterns, all so pretty, as are your woodland friends. However did you find a pumpkin with such a beautiful stem? You chose a lovely colour for your cowl. The lily photos are gorgeous. They will definitely make for wonderful oil painting. I found “cheat” oil paint. Let me know if you are interested, I will share over email. This comment has already turned into a novella :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Matcha,

Water lilies are quite amazing little things and so pretty. I find the 'past prime' flowers interesting and lovely, too. Your other shots are really great.
