Autumn colours lifts my spirits
I think it’s the range of colours that attracts me to Autumn – the reds, oranges, yellows – and the gentle light.
I’m very lucky to live in a place that has four distinct seasons.
Just a few of my favourite things 🙂
What lifts your spirits? We all need a lift at the moment don’t we?
I hope these colourful shots have helped raise your spirits today.
Leave me a comment to let me know how you’re going.

This is exactly what my geographical area of Canada looks like in fall. Which is 6 months away… 🙂
How strange. 😉

I know, it’s so weird isn’t it, seeing the opposite season to what you’re living through. Spring is a good 6 months away for us but it’s my next favourite season.

These are beautiful! Where are they? I’m ‘enjoying’ the colours of spring in New York … the magnolia and blossom is out in Central Park and is stunning.

Most of them are taken in my garden and town of Tumbarumba in the mountains of NSW in Australia. I love the colours of spring too, especially magnolia! Enjoy and stay well.

I also love the autumn colours. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to go to our local bird sanctuary at the moment which as a marvelous display of colours during autumn.

I’m sorry to hear you can’t go to the bird sanctuary at the moment, it’s hard now with the things we tended to take for granted isn’t it? The freshness and cooler temperatures are quite invigorating here at the moment. Thanks for stopping by!

It is getting cooler here too and I am glad we aren’t all frying like we do during the summer months. Our winters are also quite nice and not to cold but they make a change from relentless heat. It is a bit tough to be forced to stay home all the time.

Might I first say I like your bio very much! Secondly I shall gaze at all of those gorgeous colours and ignore the snowstorm raging outside my window. We think Mother Nature is truly testing us these days. After all if you have autumn should we not be graced with spring? Sending very best wishes and thanking you for brightening a dreary day.

Yes my new bio reads really well doesn’t it, many thanks to you! Snowstorm in spring?? Now that’s getting a bit crazy. Wishing you better spring weather to come and soon! Our nights and mornings are quote cool and we have the fire going but I think we’re just trying to feel cosy as it’s not that cold yet! Thanks Sue, I’m pleased to have brightened your day a little 🙂

Lovely shades of Autumn Deb – and with a nice little personal twist of you peeping through the foliage! Autumn doesn’t seem to have reached us in WA yet – we don’t have a lot of Autumn colours showing thru, but it’s a bit cooler this week, so maybe it’s just around the corner.

Thanks Leanne, I wondered if anyone would notice me peeking through the leaves! No I can imagine autumn isn’t as early for you as it is for us. We are still having lovely days and spending as much time outside as possible.

I have to admit it doesn’t feel very autumn-y here. I wonder if that’s a Qld thing. I must check what other Qlders (Jo, Jan etc say). I definitely noticed it more when I lived in Canberra for eg…
It feels like we leap straight from summer to winter!

I know, it seems weird to me too Sam, especially as we were in England earlier last year for autumn then winter! I feel out of sync. I wish you well for Spring. We’re well and enjoying our time at home, we’re so lucky to have so much space around us. Hope you are going well too!

Stopping to take time to look for that perfect photograph is a grand distraction right now. So thankful for Sunday Stills. Autumn is my favorite time of year and your photographs share just why that is so. The grand variety of colors, the textures, the contrasts.

What wonderful consolation ‘prize’ Autumn brings for you whilst you cannot travel far. The colours are a delight. Now we cannot drive anywhere unless for essentials there will be no chasing Autumn trees as I have in the past up here.
