not everything is black and white...

Not everything is black and white...
though I often tend to see things that way.


It was hard to see anything but vibrant colour...
on my last visit to the garden shop. 


Red barns...
and snow capped peaks.



More fresh snow is arriving up there daily.



This is what I call the 'circus of autumn'...
beautiful colours to enjoy for a short time.
 

Across the road and just down the way...
the cranberry harvest is almost done for the year.
The 'red sea' of corralled cranberries are waiting to be sucked up into the waiting shipping container.


We've had a lot of colour over here this week...



...between the rain storms.

No...
not everything is black and white.


But black and white is still good!

  1. Much better than the usual ending to "not everything is black and white..." The colors are so perfect there. You must be in peak color. And the mountains already white with snow are just a hint of things to come. You've revealed a lot about yourself in this post...I like that!

  3. You've captured your valley so beautifully. All that colour, after a glorious August and September is such a treat. I look forward to seeing those mountains again in early December!

  6. Isn't it wonderful that our world is not all black and white? I'm so glad God created colour. These are all stunning photos of your valley, but my favourite is the willow tree with the rain clouds.

  8. Great photos and great minds thinking simultaneously. Grabbing every Kodak photo right now brings pleasant memories that we almost missed fall and went straight into winter...
    Don,t detour too far from you black and white...in the long run..it,s worth it!!!!

  14. The beauty of autumn is the most fleeting of all seasons, Judy, and you capture dit so well in your photos. I loved the lighting in the weeping willow tree photo!

    My daughter's neighborhood in Colorado had 5 inches of snow today! If I were there I'd be showing apreview to winter! :)
