In the Autumn spirit

It took me a while to switch from summer mode to fall mode, but now that I have, I'm loving it, and looking forward to winter and the holiday season as well.

It is so easy to get caught up in complaining about this often times gray, cold, wet and bare season we're in, however, if we turn it around and allow ourselves to notice the many blessings it brings, we might just start seeing it in a totally new light. Think of colorful foliage everywhere, making it extra cozy, warm and inviting indoors, hot cups of cocoa, lighting candles, being tucked in under a warm blanket while reading a book you can't seem to put down or watching your favorite movie... I think you can take it from here can't you :).

These images represent to me some of the delights of this season.

If you haven't found your Autumn spirit yet, I hope you will very soon.

Take care!

beautiful mist

 

 Don't you just love it when you wake up to a clear light blue sky and the sun is just rising above the horizon. It's already quite crisp outside and everything you see is surrounded by this beautiful delicate mist. The mist is somewhat thicker just above the ground making everything look magical when touched upon by the golden sunrays.

I'm glad I had my camera with me this morning 

so I could capture the moment.

Have a lovely weekend!

Autumn colors

Like all seasons, Autumn too comes with its various weather conditions. Autumn is partly known for its rains and winds, for its cloudy and somber skies and for leaves falling to the ground leaving the trees bare and colorless.

However, Autumn is also known for its magnificent colors, spreading like flames from tree to tree, bringing a sense of awe and a feeling of joy to anyone who takes the time to stop for a moment, notice, and take it all in.

To brighten up any "grey" Autumn days, here are a few pictures I took recently. It was the most perfect weather for a nice Sunday walk in October - crisp, almost cold, yet, with the sun beaming down from a bright blue sky and adding to the magnificence of the colors "flaming up" from the trees, it couldn't have been better.

Wishing everyone a sunny and colorful continuation of the Fall!
