When Summer Ends

On this wall there are the colors of this season,autumn.

At last, the flower season is here. With long days, short nights, sunny dry weather is all in bloom very soon, therefore, if you want to experience the beauty and take photos, you have a great hurry now.

Sorry if I do not have time for all of my good friends' pictures, but I try to keep up with everything.

Sorry also to Group Window Wednesday, I was lost in the days of yesterday. Loaded up a day early! :))

Found this early Pulsatilla beside a warm stone, in full bloom.

Over the field there where a lot of buds, I will go back in a few days.

I love the winter, when snow that lights up our dark season, when the sun only is here for a couple hours.

I love the spring when the birds return, gives me symphony orchestra in the forest, all the flowers on the ground.

I love summer hot days, light clothing, a picnic in the park, boat trip on the lake.

But mostly I love the fall for all the wonderful colors.

The trees vary even just in a little yellow here, but I will jump-start with my own creationer in autumn color robes.

Thank you dear Flickr friends for kindly visit, comment and fav.

This a a Christmas bracelet with a candy cane charm. HMM

This is a place where time stands still in autumn and you take this time to reflect on life.... Filled with new thoughts, you can walk gratefully back down into the valley.

Dies ist ein Ort, wo im Herbst die Zeit still steht und man sich diese Zeit nimmt, um über das Leben nachzudenken... erfüllt mit neuen Gedanken kann man dankbar wieder ins Tal hinunter wandern.

Don't worry it isn't my fishing boat...lol.....mine is safely stored in the garage for the winter. This photo was taken about 30 minutes prior to the photo "Heaven's Gate" .....just prior to the fog lifting to reveal a spectacular blue sky. Thankyou for all your wonderful congrats!!!

Where I live, we've moved rather abruptly from the season of autumn color to the season of color is hard to find. It was cold enough too on Tuesday that Monday night's snow stuck around all day.

"Summer nights and long warm days

Are stolen as the old moon falls

My mirror shows another face

Another place to hide it all

Another place to hide it all

And I'm lost behind

The words I'll never find

And I'm left behind

As seasons roll on by..."

The water gets cold and the sun does not shine as often:). For me the SUP season is over...

Little Wood-Nymph 'nephele' butterfly taking a brief rest.

Last week there were none. After some cooler rain and windy weather, things have settled. Today, after walking a short distance in a nearby meadow, I observed over 100 of these little creatures doing their grass-top floppy-dance.

Very common this time of the year.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year 2016 to my friends and all the Flickr people :-))

Explore, 12 Dec. 2015.....thanks everyone!

used a 3 stops NiSi soft GND filter and stopped down a lot for the sunburst effect.

Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)

♫ The mood

View in the lightbox, please!

because there is a northern hemisphere ;-)

icm image of a forest friend.

one of the things I love about getting to know a forest

is recognising individual trees.

I've photographed this tree before.

but it went missing after it's leaves fell...

and then late autumn this year, it reappeared ;-)

the same and yet different...

taller, stronger, a more supple dancer.
