Autumn Vignettes

The days are very chilly now and beach days seem to be over, though you never really know as warm days sometimes sprinkle themselves into the fall with some regularity. But it is has been very cool and cups of hot pumpkin latte are my favorite drink right now. Streets are quiet during the day with all the kids back to school but after school are they are busy running up and down the street until the dark comes in earlier and earlier each day. It is time for sweatshirts and sweaters. Here are my contributions to Friday Foto Friends and Skywatch Friday. I hope you enjoy them.

I found this lighted pumpkin at Michael's and gave it a home by the mercury glass lamp in my office. It is very autumny, I think and I enjoy its soft glow.
If you are like me you will be curious as to what is on the glass lamp. It says, La Montagne de L'eau.  (Mountain of water)

Trees are turning yellow and red and orange.

The creek, with its cedar water, takes on a creamy beige look in the shallows sometimes. I find it to be so unique.  Colorful leaf boats float down toward the bay.

 

 Looking toward the bay...just ahead down the creek. Yes, you can walk there from here. It widens up ahead and the pines are not as thick.

Fish slow down a bit when the weather gets chilly at night and the water temperatures go down. They begin to go into hybernation mode.

Raindrops continue to excite them anyway. They love when it rains and play in the drops close to the surface.

Leaves of orange and brown

Autumn enters the dining room too with oranges and browns.
The light was bad for this photo, but I don't mind it. I kind of like this look where the window light takes the spotlight.

The curtains have small metallic squares that sparkle and reflect light so nicely. The light twinkles through the leaves during the afternoon spreading pretty little dancing lights all over the room.

The crystals on the kitchen window cast rainbows all over the back of the house in the morning and early afternoon. The ceiling, the furniture, the appliances all covered in rainbows.
I loved them in Pollyanna and did the same in my own house. Crystals all over the place!

Here are puppy feet in the sand.

The tire track is from a boat trailer backing into the water to launch. You can see a man's foot print too.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come again soon.
