Autumn officially begins this evening!
Portland has had a hot, dry summer, and this weekend was more of the same.

Today a cooling trend is supposed to begin,
just in time to usher in fall.
The weather report says, " it looks as though our hot and dry days are now behind us."

Bring it on!
I'm ready to make soup or stew and light some cozy pumpkin scented candles.
(Remind me I said this when I'm tired of gray skies and rainy days.)

In the meanwhile, welcome Autumn 2014!
still following,
Elizabeth, You've created beautiful fall vignettes. Your pictures usher in fall with warmth and color. I love your attention to detail - in the way you arrange the items, your focus, and the wooden table as a backdrop. And those vintage scales . . . a touch of nostalgia. Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Donna. I'm learning and growing and practicing and enjoying the whole photography process.
DeleteYour images show the beauty of fall. I love the scale. We are feeling a chill in the air here in Ohio. It is nice to wear jeans and sweaters again. Hope you feel the chill of fall soon too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind encouragement about my fall still life. It rained today on the first day of autumn. I made soup. :)
DeleteGorgeous photos and I'm in LoVe with your scale! Perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was a fun still life to put together.
DeleteIt's feeling like Fall here in GA, too! Love your photos. p.s. I was receiving your posts via email to my gmail account and one day I suddenly stopped getting them. Would you possibly know what I could do to get you back! I re-subscribed and it said I was already subscribed...any thoughts? Blessings~Cindy
ReplyDeleteCindy, you aren't the only person who's having that problem and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I do I will let you know.
DeleteThanks so much! I'll keep watching for you! :)
DeleteSuch a pretty set of images. Love that scale and that sweet pumpkin. Yes! I'm ready for soup and stews and maybe a warm apple crisp.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes to the apple crisp! (still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream please)
DeleteSo lovely. I always enjoy your images...the scale, the old wood...and those "dusty" antique-y pumpkins are my favorite. Yes, bring on the fall! Much love to you, friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet friend!
Deletebeautiful photos! and that scale is super!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Roxi! It was fun to include my scale in a still life.
DeleteHello Fall! I'm kind of featuring you twice this week, but I cannot help it, you had me at fall :-D. The top photo... I would buy that for my mantle.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet. Thank you so much for featuring me!
Deletelove your still life, I love your scales so jealous...
ReplyDeleteI do love my scales as well. It was fun to use them in a still life.
DeleteGreat scale and the stem on your pumpkin is so sweet! Lovely images and processing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Carol. I had fun taking the photos.
DeleteBeautiful still lifes. The scale is really neat.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. The scale stole the show this week. Everyone loves it. It's a fav of mine as well.
DeleteLove your still lifes, the composition is wonderful ! Love your old scale too ;))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Caz! It was fun to photograph and edit. I love my old scale as well.
DeleteLove every one of these. That scale is to die for!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise! It was a fun photo series to shoot and edit.
DeleteYour still lives are wonderful. Love your scales.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Earl. Still lives are my favorite.
DeleteWonderful images of fall. Nice texture work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilyn. I enjoyed photographing and editing these shots.
DeleteLovely shots. It is cooler here too due tot he gray skies. Unfortunately the humidity remains high. And i f it was not for gray skies our temps would still be 80 to 90. Hard to fell fall like in those temperatures.
ReplyDeleteI did live in a place where we actually had fall and colored leaves and I miss that.
Portland, Oregon was unusually hot and dry for most of spring and summer. We really need the rain, which is words you hardly ever hear where I live!
DeleteBeautiful Autumn vignettes, Elizabeth! I love your vintage scale!
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn!
Missing fall here in SoKan (ha ha , southern Kansas), we've had precious little fall weather...I think we get one cool-ish day on Friday, then it's back to the 80s! Love your pics, perhaps I can make it until it feels like fall :)
