Autumn Mountain






Autumn. It speaks of color, light, and shadow. It is vibrant and crisp; and makes me think of cozy nesting and cups of hot tea. A walk down Cabin Woods Lane can be casual and slow. Footprints, feathers, and arrowheads can be found in the tire ruts. The tamarack trees are a special feast to the eye as they dot the forest with bold, yellow color! Seeds and burrs catch on socks and pant legs when on woodland walks. The dying, drying foliage opens up the meadow and forest carpet so that tiny details can be observed: mushrooms, pebbles, twigs, fallen berries, and prints in the dirt. Each season creates interesting things to observe. Whereas spring speaks of anticipation and hope, autumn is a time for closing down, saying good-bye, and enjoying each moment because you know that soon winter will arrive and the colors will be traded for brown and white. Seasons. Time. And beauty.

  2. So enchanting...the light, the words, the thoughts expressed. My those tamaracks are golden. The light is just right for showing them off.

  6. What gorgeous fall photos! Every one of these would make a spectacular fall puzzle (as long as I didn't have to put it together -- I just like to admire the results, ha!).

  9. Beautifully written. And gorgeous images. Do you have a winter mountain now? My son sent a photo from Colorado yesterday. They woke to 8 inches of snow. Something he definitely has to get used to. :) Best wishes to you, Tammy
