We don't have the brilliant autumn colors here in the northwest that you find in New England states, but as I drove around our neighborhood yesterday I found a few beautiful colors along with one of my favorite parks overlooking Puget Sound. We've had some truly beautiful days lately and they have helped soothe all the bad feelings regarding the election, the nasty plots, the fear, the anger and concern. We need these beautiful things, scenery to nourish our hope, to remind of us of what is really important. It is there all around us in nature, in the faces of children, the closeness of families and friends and pets. But we do have to take off the blinders and remember to breathe deeply. So, I wish you all a beautiful day from Seattle.
In New England, fall envelops ... in other places, like yours, you have to travel to find it. Still in others, like south Florida, you have to look for other signs: for us, its the falling of the cypress needles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I like the Puget Sound region and looks like you live in a pretty part of it

You are as good a photographer as you are a blogger. Wonderful photos, Sylvia. I wonder what the first tree is? Other than a Maple, I have never seen a tree as red.
