As you may know, I was gone all weekend and with limited access to the internet so I'm still playing catch up! It's been pretty drab the past week, but subtle changes are happening as fall noses into the northwest. These are some shots from last
fall when the colors were so spectacular -- and they will be again a little later.
So, I hope you enjoy a glimpse of my autumn world and more Mark Twain. I do think the man was genius and a very insightful one at that.
I got some pretty good shots while I was visiting a friend this weekend.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man."

I'm enjoying watching the spectacular fall captures, especially the first and second shots.
Have a great monday, Sylvia!
I love that shot of the tree in all of its autumn glory! I have never seen one like that in person.
Oh, that last quote is hilarious! Love the autumn tree and the gorgeous sunset... Autumn in definitely on its way here too.
Have a great week!
Oh Sylvia, that last quote had me laughing... did Twain really say that? Nice set of fall photos.
Beautiful shots of amazing variety. I just loved the first shot of skyscrapers and tall tower.
What an understatement "pretty awesome" hardly sums it up. It's sad to see fall coming, but it does create some wonderful photos ops. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a great place to visit and you took some wonderful shots. I love the quotes, especially the one about going to heaven for the weather and hell for the company.
wonderful shots!!!! I love the maple tree...what glorious colors.
aloha,

my tuesday tour is a continuation of my trek to the lava on my sari blog.
Beautiful fall shots, Sylvia, and I love the first shot. That little red tree is gorgeous. I've been gone for a while also....hope you enjoyed your vacation.
I think Mark might be as smart as Tom Sawyer LOL.. Beautiful photos
Oh Sylvia,

Meravigliose !!!
Hope you had as great a time out as I did.
I do so love your snippets of Mark Twain and your photos of course.
A great shot of the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't Mt.Rainier.
Super, Sylvia. Between you and Mark Twain, you always keep me entertained.

Lovely images! Thanks for sharing with us.
Now how did Mark Twain know that even today geography would be a problem subject? That really made me laugh!
Wonderful photos of Seattle, Sylvia!
That's a familiar land mark, the Space Needle. I love that tree with red colors.
I wish I am closer to the North to enjoy the beauty of FALL.
Enjoy!
Well I missed ya this last weekend. I hope it was a good one. These are beautiful Sylvia and I'm so glad I've seen them in person. I love the misty shots. I don't know if I would like that every day, but what fabulous photos :) Have a great day :0
the signs of autumn are already in display in your world.
and i love that first image of the space needle.
I would love to visit the top of the Space Needle. The views of Seattle must be spectacular from up there.
I will have to enjoy your beautiful fall colors, Sylvia.. its still in the 90's here and that won't change until the end of Oct. ):
Sylvia, as always, your photographs and quotes are thought-provoking and beautiful. ~karen
Every time I see Mount Ranier, I get goose bumps at its majestic splendor! Beautiful photos of Seattle, Sylvia.
Sylvia: Certainly sights I remember from my visits to the Tacoma area. Seattle is quite the town.
What great finds. Looks like an amazing city indeed. And what a tree ! Years since last enjoyed fog on me own ! Thank you for this nice journey. Please have a good Tuesday.

Beautiful shots as always, and classic quotes. I love the misty shots, and that last golden sunset.
Sylvia, Can you believe fall is soon here? Hope your fall this year is as beautiful as last. That domed tree is really something!
Your photos almost scared me - then I re-read and realized these were from last year!
Wow you are way ahead of us in your seasons Sylvia! Great pics of a beautiful city.
Wow. Autumn colours already.
gorgeous images as usual garnished wonderfully by words of wisdom from mark twain!
Great series of photos!
The autumn fire in you treetops is really beautiful, and so are the color, light, and clarity in all of these. That first shot is amazing.
Beautiful pictures... and Twain was an absolute genius... one of my favourite authors !! :)
You are the Queen of Mark Twain quoters. I love the heaven and hell quote.
I am starting to look forward to the fall season and all the colors as well.
Tremendous Mark Twain quotes.
Mark Twain is the best & so are your photos!
Your world is always beautiful Sylvia.
Always looking forward for my next visit.
Love your photographs and Mark Twain quotes.

My Word Tuesday post
Seen on My World Tuesday
I hate autumn ! I am even colorblind during this period ! But the picture of this tree is just unbelievable !
Mark Twain is/was indeed a genius! So many wise words I had not expected from him as I always associate him with Tom Sayer and Huckleberry Finn, books my children devoured.
The tree is a masterpiece! I've never seen such a beauty! Have a great week Sylvia!
Beautiful pics, the sunset is fantastic :)
I love these shots. The red tree is amazing and its all so beautiful. I have a feeling that next time in in that area I'll just stay. :)
thanks for the nice comment on my blog. :)
Today I just LOVE the red "hat" of the tree. So cool.
Your first photo (of the skyline) is superb, but I also like your pictures of the water. The sunset is stunning, and, of course, Mark Twain is his usual brilliant self.
Thanks for a great post.
Great quotes, the last one too.;)
The autumn capture is fantastic.
omg, the maple tree is gorgeous! i'd love to see Seattle in autumn. fabulous photos and quotes.
Your world of words and images is always stunning! Great shot of Seattle!
Only great shots.
I enjoy visiting your blog. Seems like it's made with love and dedication.
Greetings
With the photo of the cruise ship included in this post, you might like this one, too. ;-D

That urban view is something special, Sylvia! Great shot. I almost can't believe the red tree is real, I've never seen anything like it. FANTASTIC!
Sylvia, those are some of my favorite photos yet -- the downtown shot is amazing but the fog and that tree are wonderful too -- I love this whole page!
Such beautiful photos Sylvia, and I love the Mark Twain quotes!
