We've had some gray, chilly mornings and some rain, but we've had some sun and blue skies, too! Still, it is time for flowering plants to come inside for the winter, the leaves on the trees are turning brilliant colors and the sun sets earlier in skies that appear all too ready to say goodnight!  I had posted the leaf last night, but so many commented about it I thought I'd add it to todays post. I found it on my way home from the store yesterday and the colors were so incredible that I couldn't leave it lying in the street!



Hope you all had a great week!  Enjoy!

    The brilliant red leaf discoloring, and the saying beneath it, are inspiring reminders to maintain a zest for life, even when pessimism is biting you around the edges. :))

    Beautiful reds! I am in awe. I have SO much trouble photographing reds.

    And I love those little carved fish. What treasures you have - in possessions and in spirit.

    That little Acer palmatum dissectum is a real joy as are all of your photos. You see one single red leaf and you know it is fall. Your windowsill would make anyone happy. A perfect place for African violets.

    Hope you have a most colourful week!

    I like your colorful window sill display. A few fresh flowers just brighten everything up!
    I really like the quote with the leaf. I need enthusiasm in my life. When I don't have anything to look forward to, life is a little dark and drab.

    Grey days here in California, too. Closed the cabin (sigh) for the winter. We were a bit late as we had to shovel a foot of snow off the deck before we could begin the chore.

    Beautiful pictures ! In my part of the world the trees are still green and the flowers still fresh. I think we will go from "summer" to winter right away !

    I could imagine the whole tree filled with this burnt red color!

    Whatever it is, I love your header today. And I agree, the sense of humor. The senior surfer should have a good balance!

    Hi there - what a great leaf and the red bush as well. Fall with you must mean spring with us - but it's still cold here! Lit the fire again tonight.

    Sylvia,
    In your photos, the red is so expressive and impressive! The third one is especially lovely. Your beautiful autumn is getting deeper than the autumn in Nara. All of them are so exquisite!
    Best wishes,
