And this “Welcome Fall” from Sherry fit so well with this post – I had to add it…

Thank you, Fall

Thank you for the Autumn breeze, for the changing of the leaves

Thank you for the Sun so bright and the Harvest Moon at night

For the Pumpkins orange and ripe, carved into a Jack-O-Light

For the Feast of Thanks we give, another year we’ve had to live

Thank you for your apples sweet, Ciders, Pies and Candied treats

For Festivals and Market Squares, a bounty for us all to share

Soft warm sweaters, jackets and hats, ghost and goblins, spooky black cats

Thanks for all this season brings, the scent of change upon its wings

Preparing us for Winters test

Thank you, Fall –

for the season I love the Best “

Autumn is a second spring –

when every leaf is a flower.”
~Albert Camus

“I love autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it.”
~Lee Maynard

“As the aging leaves of summer give way to the drier foliage of fall, their earthy aroma is unmistakable. A mossy, heady sweetness hangs in the air notifying us all to bring out our sweaters and boots, tea and cocoa.

The birds appear more colorful against their fading backdrop; the remaining blue birds shine brighter in the sunshine, the cardinals burn red amidst the scantily dressed branches and even the brown streaked wrens seem polished as they flit along in their nonsensical pattern.

How I love this time of year, season of seasons when it just feels right to slow down a bit, take deeper breaths and observe the colorful changes falling into place.”

FESTIVAL OF LEAVES

So many folks absolutely love autumn. One blogger that comes to mind is Dawn Miller @TheDayAfter.

Many readers likely already know Dawn and if you want to get to know her a little more, check out her August 2022 post, Grooving on Photography, where she shares about her journey as a photographer. That journey has led Dawn to hosting the Festival of Leaves photo challenge. The sixth season starts September 22, 2022 and runs for about 10 to 12 weeks.

Go here for more information about the Festival of Leaves photo challenge. 🍁🍂🍃

Last year’s (2021) Wrap-Up post is HERE

Dawn shared these helpful links:

• Fall Foliage Prediction
• MapTechniques for Fall Color Photography

The vibrancy of the color is what attracts me, oranges and reds especially . It is hard to describe how fall colors elate me. Probably if a PET scan were run, my endorphins would be visibly high on a country road in autumn.

Writer’s Quotes Wednesday Writing Challenge

Hope you can join us as we celebrate the arrival of a new season that offers color, transition, and cooler weather (unless you are in the other hemisphere and are now welcoming in spring — a season with a much different vibe–) but no matter your location – we invite you to join us virtually with the Fall theme this week.

Safe travels to Marsha and let’s close with two comics.
