In the wink of an eye, another month has flown by and autumn's beauty surrounds us. This year, with warmer temperatures, it took a while for the autumn colours to bloom, but bloom they have. Joyful and invigorating oranges, reds, golds and still bright greens are everywhere you look.
These trees over by the boat launch always put on a show. As you can see, they are especially celebratory this year. In my books, they are as beautiful as fireworks.
And what you see is what you get--no colour enhancement here, although a tone down of the sun drenched trees to the right might have proved useful.
Light and shade.
Beauty aloft too.
Winter will soon be hard on the heels of autumn, so these books are at hand to keep my head full of flowers. They are all great, but the top and bottom ones are especially good.
On the cup, Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses. Wish I could paint a painting like that. Don't we all.

The trees are spectacular. I like the quote at the end of your posts.
Those trees are spectacular. I love all the seasons but autumn is my favorite by far.
Autumn is a fantastic season. Lovely scene and lovely paintings.
I like a lot how you present them.
All the best and a fine week ahead, Dixie!
Love the pretty fall colours of those trees.
Your paintings are beautiful as always.
Beautiful...each photo. Love the colorful sky. The trees....amazing. Ours are not. Mine in back yard and along the roadside are still green. Up until this week, which turned cold quickly, it was still Summer temps. Enjoyed seeing your visit to Pictorial. Have a great week.
Beautiful autumn trees and skies! I love fall. I am also a fan of van Gogh and love your mug. I went to see the van Gogh Immersive show recently in Denver which was amazing
Oh, how invigorating and glorious your autumn world is, Dixie; just stunning! Loving the pretties in your sketch book. A stack of beautiful books is always a joy. The 'Petals' book is often enjoyed down here; it is a beautiful book. How we all wish we could paint like Van Gogh...Monet...
Thank you for showing me the place
Oh MY! What stunning leaves! Gorgeous signs of the season.

I bought a sketch book and it’s empty…thanks for inspiring me..
The leaves in your area are just beautiful . We have a bit of color here in North Texas, but it is usually in November. Thanks for the visit. I hope that you will come again. Janey

Yes October has flown far to fast for me but I adore the month. Your little sketch book holds beautiful paintings and that pumpkin display is fabulous.
Happy Halloween & PPF Tracey.
