Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.
William Cullen Bryant

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.

    My two favourite times of the year, spring and autumn, seems so strange to be totally opposite seasons. I'm looking forward already to your autumn images. I hope you have a lovely weekend Sylvia.

    Beautiful, we could tell that Seattle was just about to start turning. It's still hot here but Fall is Tulsa's best season.

    Fabulous photos as always. I like the solitary yachting, rosy reflections melting into the blue water, and snowcapped mountain ranges, in the second. Have a nice weekend, Sylvia.
