| That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Click on the icon and share your world with others from all over Our World! So! How is your world this week? Have you taken time to see the beauty there? What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for? We've had a lovely day today and I even took the bus to do some grocery shopping primarily because tomorrow is supposed to be windy, rainy and cold! Definitely time for a big pot of homemade soup! But my world is about more than a cold, rainy day and a pot of soup! We've still had some color, some little flowers and some lovely skies, as you can see! |

| Ugich Konitari has left a new comment on your post "That's My World!": 77 is the new 47! Shrugging off those light snowy covers, sometimes almost like blankets; then letting the light breezes massage the bare arms into sprouting new growth and leaves; biting cold winds, tempered by a slowly powering Sun bursting into spring and summer, replete with wild and wet flowers and fruit romancing the birds; And as Summer fades into Fall, she comes into her own, warm in mustard yellow, looking up into a pure blue cool sky, the leaves enriched in gold. They say 77 is the new 47.. And she wraps her confidence a bit tighter around herself, smiles and says, "It's such a wonderful life, isn't it !"...... There's one way to find out if a man is honest: ask him; if he says yes, you know he's crooked. — Mark Twain |

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with. — Mark Twain |

I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want. — Mark Twain |

Mark was pretty smart but the last remark made me think he was so smart that he got beaten at school.
These are the best so far, Sylvia. I really mean that.
WOW!!! Just perfect. I love autumn too. That yellow tree is awesome.
Happy Tuesday!
Just beautiful! I love the yellow leaves in your first photo but the second really calls to me - so peaceful, so romantic!
Your views of the city are stunning, and your sunsets are gorgeous. Mark Twain, as usual, is very profound.
Wow! Seattle is still looking mighty colourful!
Our day started with fog. I like fog when I am not obliged to go out. Autumn has started now but the trees didn't lose all their leaves yet.
Great pictures . last one is just awesome
Love all your photos, especially the bushy tree, Sylvia. Can’t believe how soon autumn has rolled around again. It’s my favorite time of year … when rust orange leaves line the streets making the Northwest beautifully golden.
Beautiful shots. Wonderful variety from colors of autumn to scenic beauty.
Your world is so beautiful Sylvia. The yellow leaves on the tree cheered me up looking at them.
These are brilliant captures and the quotes are so good! But, I don't think I'll be eating any live frogs in the near future. But, I am sure that's about as bad as it can get in one day! Have a wonderful 1st week in November, Sylvia!
Absolutely fabulous photos, Sylvia. That second one is perfect, with the sharp foreground and the softly muted background with the purple sky. Gorgeous.

Love all the photos especially the sunsets..Have a great week
This certainly has been an amazing fall. Here it is November and we can still get wonderful fall color photos. Thanks so much for all the time you take in visiting everybody's blog and for putting together a nice series of photos with quotes to go along. It makes a very enjoyable stop in an otherwise busy day.
Wonderful bursts of colour - on the trees and in the skies. Have a wonderful week - I'm hoping you get some sun.
That golden tree is gorgeous, Sylvia. It has been so warm here its hard to imagine that its really is autumn.
Seattle is beautiful as ever.
your neck of the woods is so scenic, world class views.
Sylvie, having a pretty gray day here myself, so that pot of soup sounds darn precious to me! But you have had a rich week of color if these amazing photos were all take this week. How did you manage to get that wonderful areal shot of Seattle? Stay well!
Hi Fransisca! Thanks for stopping by! A couple of these photos were taken earlier and the aerial shot was actually taken a couple of years ago on my birthday when my youngest son took me for a seaplane flight over the entire Seattle area and we got some fantastic captures! I like to share that view of my world now and then! Have a great week!
Sylvia
Sylvia, your world is stunning! :)
Beautiful photos from your world, I love the intense colours of that tree.
Oh Sylvia! What a beautiful post you have put together! I especially like the second photo. It must be a very nice walk. I enjoy walking by the seaside.
these are such stunning photos. i particularly like the first photo, it's magical. have a great week.
Wow, that first photo is breath taking.
I love the Twain quote underneath it also. What I've learned after years and years is that people that go on and on about how honest they are and their business is actually a ministry and a calling and God tells them this and that, is that it is best to keep my hand on my wallet at all times.
These views are utterly astounding, as ever. Gorgeous.
Your photographs are marvelous Sylvia, and I also like your Twain quotes.
Lovely skies, great views, and a fantastic burst of color in that first photo. The sky in that first sunset shot is really wild, I love it. I hope you have a great week - I'm heading back to work after a week off so I'll be very busy.
aloha sylvia,
fall must be a beautiful time in your area from the photos of these golden trees, thanks for sharing these
Wonderful views of Seattle. Your photos are great, Sylvia. Love the quotes but, I can not imagine eating a frog.
wow wow wow
stunners all!!
You frame your shots so well, gives a wonderful view of your world always. :)
Your pictures are super!
The impression your post leaves is one of glittering gold worth more than a king's ransom.
Yes my dear we each have our special places where the soul sings and soars and I have so many, not just here but on 3 other continents as well.
Enjoy the splendour of your lingering fall.

Lovely images Sylvia. I love the Mark Twain quotes. Thanks for dropping by my place.
77 is the new 47!
Shrugging off
those
light snowy covers,
sometimes
almost like blankets;
then
letting
the light breezes
massage the bare arms
into sprouting
new growth and leaves;
biting cold winds,
tempered
by a
slowly powering Sun
bursting into
spring and summer,
replete with
wild and wet
flowers and fruit
romancing the birds;
And as
Summer fades into Fall,
she comes into her own,
warm
in mustard yellow,
looking up
into a pure blue cool sky,
the leaves
enriched in gold.
They say 77 is the new 47..
And
she wraps
her confidence
a bit tighter around herself,
smiles
and says,
"It's such a wonderful life,
isn't it !"......
The first pic is brilliant and I loved the last quote..always a pleasure coming here too Sylvia, its a beautiful world out here
Gorgeous photos Sylvia, particularly the first one, even the second one, well actually all of them :D
Ms. Sylvia, what a great aerial view of the city!
You on the bus? I guess your car is not fixed yet? Hope you can get it fixed soon.
Take care.
Great collection. I especially like the boardwalk.
There is a lot of water in your world and it makes beautiful images! There is a lot of humor in Mark Twain's words and they carry a lot of wisdom!
Fabulous photos, Sylvia. That golden tree is so gorgeous! I love the colors of fall!
Beautiful pictures. Nothing like some sunshine this time of year!
glorious photos! especially the golden tree--so vibrant! i love these scenes from your world.:)
my fave is the golden tree too:) just really makes me smile. i love the poem and the quotes! have a good week, Sylvia:)
Hi again, Sylvia... Well, I for one, will not tire of seeing these aerial (spelled it right this time) photos of yours, whenever they were taken. What a fabulous birthday gift! A great day PLUS good memories forever. And I'm glad I came back and got to read the poem left by Ugich. YES! Now I look out my window and see both rain and sun... there must a rainbow somewhere nearby... must go look-see. :-)
Hi Sylvia :)
che meravigliose immagini hai inserito oggi !!!
Bellissimo l'albero dorato !!!
E poi, la tua città è magnifica :))
Buona giornata.
Myriam
PS: oggi da me, è una bella giornata.
Very pretty world indeed ! I am still with one foot in Egypt but I wouldn't want to live there all year around because there is no season at all except a little cooler in January and February.
You still have that much leafs left on the trees. Nothing left here. :(
I love that boardwalk photo at the sea. Very good photo. Both composition and colors. :)
So enjoy scrolling through your photos and quotes!!
Lost in your beautiful world like always Sylvia...
have a great day.
Costas

Autumn is so beautiful and colourful. Nice to have four seasons.
Your photography is getting better and better, especially the yellow tree - lovely.
All shots are beautiful but that yellow tree really caught my attention!
