We are just one week away from Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere in South Australia and this got me to thinking how beautiful Autumn can be in our part of the World.
A good Autumn here would be likened to an Indian Summer and sunsets at this particular time of the year until April, can be quite spectacular and very vibrant, so I will be on the watch out with my camera at the ready, for more of these magic moments to capture in the near future.
However, as I sit here tonight preparing this post I am acutely aware of the insects chorusing outside in the garden, singing their shrilling little chorus, for all who wish to listen. Cicadas and crickets sing out loudly, in the cool of this beautiful Summer evening. Their little songs don't go unnoticed by me, as their harmony persists and permeates through the calmness and quiet of my immediate surroundings in this gentle and melodic moment. Such a lovely time to write this post.
This week I have chosen my Images and Words photo from a previous Autumn and now once again I look forward to the return of
My Favourite Season Autumn.
Now it is your turn as I ask you to present for this week's Images and Words
Your Favourite Season of the Year.
Enjoy Your Week and Cheers From Milli .
The Rules:
Each week we will post an original photo with words on it. The idea behind this group is to expand our minds through our photography.
Photos must be your own, but the words can be someone else's as long as credit is given after the words.
Your post can either be serious, or if you'd like comical, but never obscene .
Posts can either have one word on them,quotes, or full poems ... Your choice.
All posts are to be done on your own site in a blog form with a link back to it being left here.
New topics will be posted on Sundays.
Posts can be made through Saturday.
One post per person only please.
Milli, that is simply gorgeous.... Fall is my favorite as well. Off to look for a picture.
ReplyDeletehow do i get all four seasons in one picture...hmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteyou captured one beautifully
I am sure that you will do Fall such justice Lanie.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember that great shot Milli, and that's a fab theme. You won't get me thinking of Autumn yet though as this is high Summer here and one of the hottest days today, and I spent most of my day in the water lol.
ReplyDeleteDana, you can always do a collage lol? Great idea actually....
Dana if you love Every season make a Collage? I don't mind. Smiles!

Great idea for the theme MIlli. Difficult choice, as I like all the seasons, but I think summer is best. Love you autumn colours :-))

IMAGES & WORDS #42~My Favorite Season~ *SPRING*
Every season has its own beauty... Your autumn leaves, Milli, are beautiful!

Milli your lovely description warms my heart, brings a peaceful wonderful, relaxing joy. One I've experienced many Autumn nights. It does your brilliant colorful photo justice bringing the memories back of my favorite season. Love love love your words, your photo and Albert Camus' line. I'll have to come back in awhile to post. I believe I have more photo files of Autumn than any other season.
ReplyDeleteI picked a season and a photo..........

Gorgeous photo! Being a "wino" myself (I'm from the Napa Valley and we moved to this part of Idaho because we like its budding wine culture) I absolutely love the autumn colors of grape vines :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to think about this theme for a little while because I'm having difficulty choosing between spring and autumn. Summer and winter have their virtues too, but photographically I prefer spring and autumn. I'll be back with my entry!
This is beautiful
ReplyDeletethe colours of Autumn, just wonderful
here is my entry for the week

This is always fun to think of. Love your entry. Love the photo and the colors you captured. Fall is so wonderful, but?
ReplyDeleteI like em all so I could not pick just one. Here is my feelings on this one.

Images and Words # 42
ReplyDeleteI Love the Colours Milli.
ReplyDeleteI Love all the Seasons except Summer.
So I'm choosing Spring, when the forest floor is carpeted with Bluebells.
http://forenso.multiply.com/journal/item/62/Images_Words_Week_42_-_My_Favourite_Season
It was a tough choice, but at my home spring is in the air so that is what I chose!
ReplyDeleteI really like your autumn leaves. I had one like that this past fall. It had blown over from a neighbor's yard, and I picked it up and saved it.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: http://atimetolive.multiply.com/journal/item/174/Images_and_Words_42
Yeah lovely shot, Springtime is rather special too
ReplyDeleteLove yours Milli
ReplyDeletehttp://naarta.multiply.com/journal/item/1075/IMAGES_WORDS............Week_42_My_Favorite_Season
Wonderful leaves.
ReplyDeletehttp://ummancan.multiply.com/journal/item/226/Images_Words_Favourite_Season
I like what you said about autumn.
ReplyDeleteYour picture is so pretty. And is a good representation
of autumn.

Thanks, Milli, for your visit and kind words. That horrible flooding was not on the mainland Portugal, however we are all sad for what those people on the Madeira island are suffering now.
ReplyDeleteThe images on the TV news were quite horrific Belita and yes we are sad for them also.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have been very much shocked watching and watching those images which I presume are not very different (perhaps the same?) from those you saw. I have been to Madeira for several times, already, and hardly could I believe how that beautiful 'pearl of the Atlantic', as it is commonly named, has suddenly turned into that horrible condition. Humans are often defeated by Nature inclemencies...
ReplyDeleteSuch true words Belita, nature is a force to reckon with. We can be powerless when caught in the extremes of Nature.
ReplyDeleteWork beckons me now and I will be back later to view more of these Beautiful Season posts.
Sorry I'm late. Milli, your picture is just beautiful.
ReplyDeletehttp://joanne7111.multiply.com/journal/item/338/Images_and_Words_42_-_My_Favorite_Season
