“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
~Albert Camus
“Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.”
― Yoko Ono
“Autumn… the year’s last, loveliest smile.”
~ William Cullen Bryant
Wishing those who celebrate
a safe Thanksgiving.

As if I needed yet another reason to fall further behind… poking at the keyboard or keypad with just the one digit is getting a bit tedious, but I simply HAD to revisit this one because it was so delight-full! 😊

No Autumn here. Not cold enough. Just a bit chilly that’s all. No winter. No Spring. No seasons. Hard to sense the passage of time.
Pinot noir is a good choice. 🍷

Thanks you for sharing again Jane! I love the first image of “Autumn Reflections” – Stunning!! Btw – We recently moved to Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia – surrounded by mountains, lakes, rivers. There are so many huge maple trees in our neighborhood of “Garrison Crossing” (formerly a Canadian Forces Base) and I’ve taken soooo many autumn photos, that I’m getting overwhelmed how to sort them and what’s worth publishing or printing. Haha – boy have I got problems eh?
