Welcome Autumn

 Autumn has arrived. With it has come crisp temperatures. It's almost as if the weather knew autumn was here (which of course it didn't), and that made it time to get rid of the humidity and the heat this summer was particularly good at being.
 Views from my morning walks.  Slight changes from last weekend.


 Warning: if you don't like creepy crawlies scroll down quickly past these next couple of photos.






 Meanwhile back in the garden.


 A bit of color is left.


 And some interesting seed pods too.
It was a great day to go pick a big bag of apples.
And even though we didn't buy a pumpkin nor any squash (since my garden has given me several this year), it is a sure sign of autumn when the wooden bins at the orchard are filled with these.


Happy autumn to you.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  1. Gorgeous photos Erika, autumn is definitely here. It was cold, wet, wild and windy here, good weather for a crafting day. Enjoy your Sunday, hugs, Valerie

  2. Happy Autumn! I love those fall leaves :) You have so many flowers still. I miss zinnias and am determined to try them again next year -the chipmunks keep them from doing well in my space. Your apple looks delicious! We've seen pumpkins at the grocery but haven't picked ours up yet. Soon, though. It's time.

  3. Your Fall is a little ahead of us. Your flowers still have a lot of color and are very pretty. That apple looks really good. Since Himself is having difficulty walking a trip to the orchard will be out. We'll have to see if the grocery store will carry apples from the local orchards.

  4. Beautiful autumn photos Erika. The leaves are dropping from the trees here as well. You still have some lovely flowers in your garden to enjoy as the weather changes.

  5. Yes to nice fall weather, Erika, and I am waiting for the fall colors to really start showing. Since it was a relatively wet summer I am hoping for some spectacular foliage views this year.
