Remember when we talked about the lost art of letter writing last week? I thought that I would add some new autumn postcards to my etsy shop, for those of you who still like to send a handwritten note. :)
So that is what my mosaic is made of this week -- six images of autumn, the "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" as Keats described it it.
After the color and abundance of summer blooms, autumn has it's own spare beauty. I love the misty mornings, the muted golds and browns, the ripened berries and the call of geese flying overhead. I love the brilliant foliage and the softer light and the dew-drenched grass. And most of all, I love the bittersweet feeling that comes with this fleeting season. Soon enough the frost and the snow will come. Carpe diem.

Mary, I just adore these images today. It is Spring over here and I should be excited about it but when I see these beautiful Fall pictures I wish I could wind back the clock and it was Autumn all over again!

Glorious shots, Mary! I love the wide-open view that looks like it could be a golf course with a sand trap. But I'm a golfer so I could be seeing things that aren't really there ;)

ReplyDeleteLovely, Mary, and each one is so beautiful all on its own that it's almost a shame to place them in a mosaic so thank you for providing an individual look. Yes, we need to be enjoying these golden days of autumn without fretting too much about...
ReplyDeleteHiya Mary,
ReplyDeleteYour misty landscapes are exquisite.

Finally, autumn is here and we are enjoying cooler temperatures and even rainy days. The grass is beginning to green up and grow again giving me opportunity to mow yesterday.

All six vintage autumn postcards are gorgeous. Though it is hard to have a favorite, I think it would be the one with the mist rising off the water. ~Diana

Those leaves - transparent, lacy - gorgeous.
