A Little Preview of Autumn

After eleven days and over ten inches of rain, the sky is blue once again.
This was our view last night.


It was a glorious sight to behold. 


The rain that once was, has left a fresh autumn breeze...


...gently rustling through the ever changing leaves.


It seems that everything is littered with bright colors...

 
...and strangely shaped objects.


If you look closely, you can see tiny remnants of moisture still clinging to each petal.



And I love it when that one certain leaf stands out in the crowd.


It won't be long before they all blend together in a sea of reds and oranges.


Even the little birds sense that change that is taking place...


...and I think they must be enjoying it too.
Rain or shine, all they really want is food in their bellies.



For the most part, most everything is still quite green,
especially after all of the rain.

But little by little, with each passing day,
it's quite clear that autumn is showing itself...just as it should.


And I'm loving it :)

  6. As always, Debby, your photos are stunning! I'm so glad the rain has stopped, and I hope you did not suffer any damage. It's so wonderful to see the beauty after the devastation.

    I'm praying for those whose lives are forever changed because of the hurricane.

  9. GLO-RI-OUS!!

    This past week we have had some much colder weather. And even though we're due another heat wave in a few days, the *crisp* in the air has me yearning for autumn to arrive! I've even bought some pumpkin spice coffee in anticipation!

    GOD BLESS!

  12. I love this time of year and all the beauty it brings. Where I live it does mean that fall leads into winter,cold and snow,but I really don't mind.

    1. Our fall is always kind of weird around here....some trees turn very early while others stay green a long time. Our cooler temps are so refreshing!

  16. Love that maple leaf with the red splotches, and the red leaves a little further down. I should know what those are, but the name escaped! That's a lot of rain, I hope it stayed out of your house and anywhere else it didn't belong.

  26. Beautiful photos! I swear that little bird has a pensive, wondering air about him. what's he thinking? Hmmm . . . time to migrate? Will Debby keep filling this feeder through the winter? When's dinner? haha

  27. Beautiful shots, Debby. I think we are just a tad bit farther along, though we still have a lot of green...well, mostly green. But still, your green looks fresher than out green...:-)
