Many leaves falling and lining the streets. Wet on stone and brick bring out the richness in colour. Gets dark so early these days; even more so with overcast skies. Lights in shop windows are welcoming. To get: something warm to drink. The aroma of coffee, overheard voices laughing through opening and closing doors.
Look at those hardy flowers holding on; blooming away despite the cold, wind, darkness. Pumpkins add a bright and cheery touch, even in their 'yet-to-be-carved' state.
Wrapping up in a warm coat. Red is a popular colour. Wearing wool and fleece: toques, mitts, scarves. No vanity in covering heads in these temperatures -- ears get cold fast. A few leaves holding on here and there, despite the wind.
... while walking in the city at this time of year.
I really love that first shot -- what a great use of perspective and depth of field.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I loved the first shot also. I wonder why some of the photos didn't show up on your main screen? I had to click on them to see them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection. Your usual talent is showing nicely.
Hmmmmm. Now that I selected a signin, all photos are showing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andi ... I love the little rounds of light from the windows and cars.
ReplyDeleteHi CF ... hmmm, that is odd. I'm not sure why it's doing that. I had to repost the third photo, but I did it right after I posted originally.
Anyone else having problems viewing images?
that 1st shot is wonderful! great idea to get down low like that ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely, especially the first image. Did anyone look at you strangely as you lay in the street to get that one? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this post, Candis! Brisk, refreshing, cozy and cheery all at the same time. Wonderful, evocative images. (No problem viewing) xo – g
ReplyDeleteIf you posted 3, I see them all.
ReplyDeletelove the shot of the leaf-filled gutter.
Thanks for the feedback on the posts showing everyone. When I look at the blog on my little ipod screen it doesn't show them all, so I think it might be a cache issue.
ReplyDeleteLOL Mary -- I do remember getting a few glances, but that's what you get in the pursuit of art ... ;-)
Hi there Pearl -- thanks for visiting and your kind words.
I love this post, Candis! Fabulous display of total beauty!!
ReplyDeleteWho says that we need nice weather for nice shots ...
