Fall Has Arrived!

It certainly has and this one is for Tom.  He chose our header challenge this week (Dave, Fishing_Guy,  Mac, and Gail’s Man) and as you know Dear Reader this is my all time, top of the heap, favorite season! 

Burnished loganberry vines.

Head and shoulders above the rest.  It sits perched on the rim of the barrel while spring slimes around on the bottom, winter floats on the top and summer swirls aimlessly in the middle of it all. 

Even the honeysuckle puts on a bit of autumnal dress.

So this challenge was hard for me, so many photo ops that Dirt and Bet wouldn’t stop for.

Outside my backdoor each morning in autumn

So many photos taken that photoshop is still grinding away and sorting all of them. 

Autumn sees the end of the burn ban and time for bonfires.

So many cropped and lighting enhanced finalist that took their turns being header for a moment. 

A quintessential autumn sunset.

And perhaps I didn’t choose the most stunning on the basis of color or occasion but it pretty much says it all. 

Takin' a ride on a bright blue tide.

Yep, I love the color blast of the season but get me under falling leaves and my brain can’t help but go into paroxysms of joy!

So for you, Dear Reader, and especially Tom, I made sure I caught one yesterday, on an ever so typical fall day, bright, clear, toasty warm autumn day, for certainly fall has arrived!  Go see what the others captured this fall! Dave, Fishing_Guy,  Mac, and Gail’s Man. 

By the way I’m going to briefly let comments through and see if I have broken the spam chain. – never mind, with in minutes I received seven spam.  Okay, here, I saw a button that said anyone can register, lets see if you can and the spammers can’t, hope this works.  Okay, I get it, this isn’t going to be easy.  When you register you will get a password sent to you, ugh, a lot of bother so…. just e-mail me if it gets to be a hassle.  I am still going to work on making this all easier but until I get my garlic and spring flowering bulbs planted (see list on side board) then I gotta just go with this, sorry, cuz I love hearin’ from you Dear Reader.
