fall foliage finale...

We know that all good things must come to an end 
(according to an old English proverb)
...and so too the beautiful colours of autumn that we have been enjoying this past while.  

There is rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future...


...and so these views of a few days ago will be a thing of the past.

 
The limbs will soon be bare...
the reds, golds and greens will disappear.

Autumn is a season followed immediately by looking forward to spring.
- Doug Larson

I know many of us can identify with that quote...
at least in a small way!

But winter is waiting in the wings.
The snow-capped peaks are here to stay...for a long while.
 
 Each season has it's beauty...
let's not miss the delights of winter!

Can I add that I hope the 'delights of winter' don't overstay their welcome?
'Cold' is not my best friend.
Smile.

Enjoy the day...

  1. It may not be your best friend, but it brings its own delights out your way - that mountain, fires on a chilly night (I'd think of more, but it's really not my friend either!)

  6. Winter is a wonderful season but I agree Judy..as long as it doesn't last too long. I like all seasons but there are a few I'd extend..like autumn!
    The snow on the peaks looks beautiful!

  8. Such wonderful photos!

    I agree with you, Judy, that a very damp cold is not my best friend either!

    Autumn and Spring are the seasons that bring the weather I enjoy. I'm still hanging onto to autumn awhile longer :)

  10. I think your photos are exceptionally beautiful! I enjoy winter but for your sake I do hope it does not overstay. If it does I do know you will find a way to creatively get through it.

  12. I love wearing sweaters and sweatshirts, so cold is good, but not freezing bitter cold. That's no fun! Pictures are lovely!
