Autumn and the Fog

 

The fog rolled in and enhanced the beautiful autumn colors

 and added magic and mystery. 

 

 

 

Reflections of September

September brought beautiful sunsets...

and some fog...

vivid autumn colors...

good night September.

Autumn on the Coast

Some of the colors of autumn on the Maine coast....

Catching Up

The summer flew by with rain and heat and humidity

and here we are with autumn weather....

Apples are falling from the wolf river tree...

a few roses still bloom...

a faint rainbow added magic...



 

dramatic clouds moved in....

soft dreamy sunsets alternate with

clear crisp evening sunsets...

and the moon is getting fuller.

Autumn Splendor

This autumn the leaves have turned late...
what a surprise to see this through our
backyard.



I have been painting the wall of the porch green
trying the beat the onset of cold weather.
Once I started painting it I couldn't stop and ended
up rearranging everything on the porch
and hopefully making it neater and more inviting!

Here's a look:

My scarecrow doesn't really do his job
as you can see if you click over here.

Hope you are having a good autumn!

Through the Mist

Early this morning
a misty fog hung in the air...

while the colors of autumn still lingered.

Hints of Autumn

While standing in my yard yesterday afternoon
I was touched by hints of autumn.

Heard the sound of the Canada geese in the
distance and was thrilled when they came into view.

Bunches of hydrangea swaying as they
move with the breezes
from the studio porch.

Looking up, the leaves are beginning to turn...

As evening approached, the full moon
was just barely visible through
the branches...

Signs of Autumn

Yesterday I spotted the cormorant again, sitting
on a log in the cove with signs of autumn
appearing in the sumac leaves.

Looking Back

Among the things I love to draw are doors
and garden gates.
Around this time of year, many years ago in
a quaint old seacoast town north of Boston,
I sat on my little folding chair on the
sidewalk drawing this door when someone
peered over my shoulder and introduced
himself. Little did I know that he was to become
my best friend and husband!

Kita Cat

When I awoke this morning and
glanced out of the window the moon was still visible.

And then I saw her, Kita cat.
Kita lives through the woods behind the houses across the street in a
horse barn. We met her for the first time last fall when she
appeared in our yard and we thought she was homeless.
We were worried about her for the weather was getting cold and nasty.

She was the friendliest cat and would
sit on D's back while he was digging in the garden.
After calling everyone in the neighborhood we finally
discovered where she lived.
A year has gone by since we've seen her in our yard and when
I peered out of the window this morning, there she was!
Her fur patterns are the colors of autumn.
