Fading Autumn

Autumn has only a little time left before she is retired for another year and replaced by her sister Winter. But, she still has much to offer. Colors fade but the heather oatmeal color of the phragmites is reminiscent of a fine Irish wool sweater. The sky takes on a subtle hue of pinks and blues that are so lovely it is hard to believe.
Once again I am joining Skywatch Friday and Friday Foto Friends.
Below taken on a cold, blustery November day...

Below are the cranes that lift the boats out of the water before the bay freezes over, as it sometimes does. I have shown this photo before from last year. But I love the colors of the leaves and how the blue of the fence matches the blue of the sky.

Phragmites is lovely when it resembles skeins of fine Irish wool. in a heathery oatmeal color.

As the day wanes on a blustery autumn day by the water, the sky turns to soft  baby shades of pink , gray and blue.

The scarlet firey skies of summer turn more sedate when the sun begins to fall below the horizon.
From my vantage point here in the photo below, I can watch the bay peek at me from the end of the little road.

Another week has gone by and we are another week closer to Winter time and her stark, bright colors of peace and solitude.

Until tomorrow and Saturday 9.. remember:
