More pictures from the walk with my friend Nana.
Yesterdays mushroom macro pictures were taken
on the same day, as were most of the pictures
I showed in last Sundays Weekly Winners.
Rubies are everywhere, that's the fun part!
Look for more Ruby Tuesday pictures at Work of the poet,
and don't forget to visit the other players!
"October's the month
When the smallest breeze
Gives us a shower
Of autumn leaves.
Bonfires and pumpkins,
Leaves sailing down -
October is red
And golden and brown."
- Can Teach Songs
However beautiful, the month of October
always seems to be able to make me sad and melancholic.
Although it's my birthday month,
that never seems to make any difference.
Photography helps me try to look at it differently.
So maybe if I took a long walk this afternoon?
Maybe if I tried to capture those warm colours?
The sun is out, and it's not raining.
Who knows, maybe I could love October,
... at least for today?
Thursday already.
October 2nd already.
The last semester of 2008, only two and a half months till Christmas.
This season always tends to make me a little bit sad.
Summer is over now, for real.
It's getting colder and darker each day.
The colours are changing, it's beautiful, but still...
The first cold days are here, and although I know I should not complain,
winters are not too severe where I live,
but I do not want to give into that right now.
I don't want to wear winter clothes just yet.
Perhaps, in a week or two, I'll be at peace with it,
but not now, not yet ...
In a week or two, maybe by then I will have decorated
the house with pumpkins, and all the warmth and good things of fall.
We'll probably light a fire for the first time,
burn lots of candles, bake an apple pie or something,
warm our hands on a bowl of warm soup.
But right now I'd rather still eat outside at noon,
or have an ice cream at the beach, the warmth of the sun on my skin.
But that's over now, I'd better get used to that.
It's raining again.
Summer is over.
For real.
I found this at Lisa's Chaos, she will be hosting
this new photo challenge every Monday from now on.
I think I'm among the first participants.
I have great admiration for her photography, and I love macro shots.
This gives me an opportunity to practise and get better at it.
If you are interested in joining this challenge,
please go over at Lisa's and say so in the comments.
She will then add your link.
So here are my first shots, first signs of fall ... (and hungry snails)
