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

Clouded Sulphur Butterfly on a Zinnia! They make a great match!!

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.
