After a dull, dry summer that followed a near-flowerless spring, these splashes of color in the Hollow, washed in autumn's golden light...
Sigh.
They make my soul sing.
Chrysanthemums, splashes of yellow and red to welcome my guests... courtesy of my sweet friend Rae.
A stray leaf, just a splash of orange on the dirt road.
Young acorns, splashes of green and symbols of hope for the squirrels.
From green to deep orange in the blink of an eye - no middle ground here.
Wildflowers, splashes of purple, color of spring and autumn.
Color of transition.
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot
English novelist and journalist, 19th century
