Why I Love Autumn(Fall)
I am always struck by the beauty of Autumn, tinged with a note of sadness in the air as the year draws to a close. It is however a time of year filled with good things and personal happy memories for me which I wanted to celebrate here.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Autumn and there is a poll and guestbook at the bottom of the page for your comments.
Unless stated otherwise all the photos are taken by me and I will be updating them as we go further into autumn. It is only the very beginning of Autumn here now. Please be couteous and do not copy without my prior permission. Thankyou.

Our Autumn Wedding and Anniversary!
I confess to being a little worried about the weather all those years ago, but it was lovely. Before our Wedding it rained heavily but on the Friday things started to brighten up and the actual day was glorious! I am so happy and grateful for our beautiful Autumn Wedding and the wonderful memories we have.
The weather was beautiful, clear warm but not too hot, sunny and bright and with a stunning backdrop of autumn colours!
The photographer was estatic as he said although most people like summer weddings the light is so much better in the autumn. He took some rich and glorious photographs for us we treasure.
Even after 15 years we still celebrate our anniversary. It is a special day for us and thats something I love about Autumn :)
Autumn Berries
To Autumn-John Keats
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, -
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Goldies birthday
Golden retriever birthday!
Goldie loved Autumn. Summer was usually too muggy for him with his big coat but in the Autumn he could run and play without getting too hot and best of all jump in MUD!! Camoflauge himself in the autumn colours of the fallen leaves and roll in them!

Autumn holidays
If holidaying in Britain again the cottages are less expensive, certainly less crowded and we have usually had wonderful clear crisp sunny days ideal for long country walks in the fields and forests and along the beaches and cliffs and warm cosy nights by the fire reading or watching a great film all safe and peaceful and cosy.
Usually at sometime during October or late September the dogs not allowed ban on the beaches where in force is often lifted and we could enjoy playing with Goldie on the beach! Bracing winds often.... Yes but great fun!
"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
as I have seen in one autumnal face"
FUN IN AUTUMN
I loved it when my mum took me into the woods near us and we chose leaves and made works of art from them. I loved walking through deep piles of leaves wrapped up in big sweaters and scarf identifying all the different trees and leaves. Out in the fresh air enjoying nature running free and having fun!
