The frost tinged Autumn winds rush about...wickedly
tearing delicate
leaves from their
noble station
and callously tossing them to the ground...
It is here, here on the cold, brown earth; here
where they band together & rise up to face their enemy.
Once again they face this frigid gust of air,
powerless no more. They madly dance and twirl in this vortex
like tumbling multi-colored glass chips
in a child's kaleidoscope.
Shredded bits of fiery orange,
crimson red and ruddy gold frantically
trying to escape
this lowly place. Breaking free, they reach for the
sun lit tree tops and touch the Heaven's blue.
I went on a little Autumn walkabout this morning.
I thought I would take all of you along too. It is so much
nicer when a stroll is shared with friends.
Have a sweet weekend...stay well, stay safe and
remember to smile, you have such a pretty grin!
Oh yes you do! There...see?

Hi Susie,
Love the Autumn pictures!!!
I'm glad you and I are the same age. I turned 51 in June. It's a weird number. Is your birthday on the 26th(Same day as the wedding)
I will toast to your birthday at the wedding. You are a great lady!!!
Love your Halloween goodies, by the way. What a fun swap.
Have a great weekend,
Rosemary
Your colors are breathtaking. I think here the leaves will just drop without giving us any show at all.
Your Autumn foliage is gorgeous, Susie! Ours hasn't even really begun to show much color at all so far. When we have a frost that should change.
Hope you have a great birthday, just in case I don't get by here again before the big day!
Hugs,
Diane
Once again your photo's are just breathtaking!
Awesome day for the leaves...I actually saw a "vortex" of them right down the street on my way to the bank earlier...
Grinnin' just for YOU!
Hello Susie.. autumns color may be in all her glory but I have not seen it in my garden as yet! All my trees turn color a bit later on or is it that our evenings have not been cold enough!
Your photos show how autumn is a ~mosaic of golden colors!~
Thank you for your continued get well wishes as I heal! I truly am uplifted by your words of encouragement!hugging you softly NG
Diane speaks of your birthday?? Did I miss something..mine is on Sunday 21..are we both Libras!
~Happy Birthday to you~ in case I miss or have missed it my dear friend!!! NG
Thanks for talking us alone on your walk. Your photos are lovely.
Susie, you are gonna make me cry with these pictures. They are simply GORGEOUS!!! Oh my goodness, they are beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing the beauty you see this Fall. LOVE IT!!!
Have a great weekend.
I have never seen such pretty colors and fall leaves in my life. I don't think unless you live in the South you realize their beauty. All that turns here is the pines and they are not pretty. Thanks for letting me go with you!
have a great weekend,Brenda
Stunningly beautiful pictures! I don't know where you live, but your trees are much prettier than ours at present. (P.S. I'm a bunny lover too.)

Now that's what I call picture perfect!! Oh Sue, I so enjoyed our walk...the colours, the blue sky, the sunshine and the dear friend walking beside me, who could ask for anything more:-) xoxo
oh yeah. rub it in, whydontcha.
i actually saw a tree yesterday that had the coolest red leaves. but did i have my camera? oh nooooo.
I am so glad you allowed me to "walk" along with you on this gloriuos day! Where I live it is still warm and our foliage has not started to turn yet, I invite your Madame Autumn to visit us here in the South soon!

Amazing Autumn pictures Susie - what a gorgeous neighbourhood to walk through! Kate sends her hello's ~ she has been so busy lately, and hadn't realized so much time had passed since she last posted (which she says she will do tomorrow) :-} Have a wonderful weekend.
Gorgeous photos - truly gorgeous!
Deborah
Sue: Gorgeous photos!! AND, I must ask...how can you post more than 5 photos at a time? I can only post 5 photos in one post.
you and I have been drinking the same tea.
Except you have some gorgeous pictures.
It is raining cats dogs leaves & limbs here..... so I doubt there will be any pretty colors tomorrow. But I'll be out there looking.
Love Your Pictures the trees are just stunning :)
Thank You for visiting my blog and for the sweet comments.Keep Checking in, I try to post 3 or 4 times a week.
Angie :)
Thanks! I enjoyed the walk..it was beautiful:)
Birthday..?
When is your birthday..?
Make sure we all know the date dear lady..!!
Your photos are fantastic, and as Nature girl says we do not have this colour yet in S. Ontario, we need cooler nights. For now I will enjoy yours.
Have a great weekend
hugs

Man oh man that was awesome. You've inspired me more than once to take pictures of my town... I posted one I took today... well, as soon as I am done visiting, I will post it!
Picture perfect Susie!...you captured everything I love about fall! Beautiful,beautiful.
Beautiful trees! We had such a windstorm here the other day that a LOT of the trees have lost their leaves already!! It's looking mopre and more like winter here in WA!
Blessings,
Robin
Oh wow Susie, that was a wonderful walk, just the kind I need after the friday round of meds...how beautiful the walk, how eloquent the words...
Oh you have so much more color than I do. Thank you for taking me along.
Mari-Nanci
Btw, do you think that my going with you here, on your walk-about, counts toward a real walk for me??????
Nope. -sigh- I just betcha' that a Virtual Reality walk-about, doesn't count. Oh bother!
^_^

Beautiful fall photos Sue! I have noticed the trees around here are certainly bursting with reds and yellows. Lovely photos to look at!
Dear Sue,
Thanks so much for taking us along on your walk. Your pictures are so gorgeous! We are just beginning to see some nice color here.
Have a great weekend!
xoxo,
Mary
What breath-takingly beautiful photographs. What a feast for my eyes!
(I'm surrounded by palm trees ... yikes!)
Thank you, thank you!
Oh...and I went to adopt my virtual pet via your link but they didn't have a rooster...so I left empty handed!
Love,
Robin
How lovely! It looks like your town is a very special one. More a town then a suburb like we have...I like that.
Terri
Susie-are you sure you're not a professional photographer lol?!!! You should be!! Have a wonderful week-I'll be back to visit as soon as I get back from Florence xx
Well that was so much fun. The colors there are just gorgeous. We don't have anything here with such beauty. Thanks for sharing your walk.
Take care,
Connie
Oh the pictures are just heaven. Wasn't the weather today just glorious. We had guests over for tea in our gazebo and relished the beautiful day. Looks like you had a lovely weekend.
Wow...how very, very gorgeous. If only I could really take a walk with you amongst those gorgeous trees!!! Living in Florida, I sure miss getting to see those sights.
Hugs!
Kat
Just beautiful - I wish we had colors like that around here! Of course, it was still nearly 90 degrees yesterday, so that could have something to do with it!
Gorgeous autumn walk, thanks.
Those are some beautiful pictures!!
When I see amazing pictures like these it really makes me question why I live here in the land of no seasons. You are such a wonderful photographer!
We don't have the pretty colors here yet like you do! I'm waiting for that. They said on the news yesterday that because we had warmer than usual temps, we're about 7-10 days behind in our pretty foliage. Your pictures are beautiful!
Love these pictures. Have I been here already? LOL I have no idea, but it was worth saying more than once if I have!
