Deep in December, it's nice to remember,

Although you know the snow will follow.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,

Without a hurt the heart is hollow.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,

The fire of September that made us mellow.

Deep in December, our hearts should remember

And follow.

-- Tom Jones (the other one)

I spotted this beauty with a "For Sale" sign in the window on a well kept looking farmstead in Southeast Michigan. I could have cropped more tightly to emphasize the truck for Truck Thursday, but I rather like the look of the entire scene, and I think the truck stands out sufficiently to be the focal point.

HTT!

Autumn is so beautiful but melancholic at the same time

This rabbit was lying down on the edge of a walking trail at dusk and didn't move an inch when he saw me. He allowed me to shoot some photos, got up once to stretch, then plopped right back down in the same spot. He must have been tuckered out after a long day.

Thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Have a great weekend!

I planted milkweed plant for the Monarchs last year and they have found it. They arrived and chase each other around in a mating frenzy. The background is the lake and a yellow, green Mop Cypress.

To make a change from seascapes thought I would upload an autumn shot and was delighted to find this as a theme for the Smile on Saturday group!

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful to those who take the time to comment or fave.

I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me so I may not be on Flickr much. I have been having problems making comments but that may have been fixed.

They call me mellow yellow...that's about all of the song I know, however you can't mistake the song of the Yellow Warbler. This one was a bit flighty and didn't stick around long enough to belt out a few bars.

My gorgeous Double Hibiscus, so bright & uplifting, like sunshine!
