The March of Seasons

I didn’t have my usual formula for getting my pictures today.  I actually spread my pictures out over a couple days and the change to me is obvious.  Is was cool and nice when I started and now it’s snowing.  I knew that the change was on the way…it’s been quite cool and rainy latelyMarch of the Seasons 001.  When there’s a lot of moisture in the air and it’s struggling to stay in the forties…I know what will soon follow.  I find leaves in the rain kind of sad somehowMarch of the Seasons 002but I also kind of like it…all I need is some blues playing softly in the background.  There’s a look to the prairie beyond our backyard gets when I know fall is about done…it’s really got that look right nowMarch of the Seasons 003.  The red leaves on the trees in our front yard are gone now so I’m focusing on the fallen gold from the formerly awesome trees in the backyardMarch of the Seasons 004.  The mornings were frosty enough so the water drops were solid and that wasn’t the look I wanted to captureMarch of the Seasons 005.  The deck is covered with leaves laying down for the last time this yearMarch of the Seasons 006and the sky looks like it could either rain or snowMarch of the Seasons 007.  Soon there won’t be a golden leaf left on the treesMarch of the Seasons 008and the view will be filled with the white blanket called snowMarch of the Seasons 009but for now I have the last hurrah of fall to enjoyMarch of the Seasons 010.  I’ve never seen such a glorious gold but now it’s tinged with rustMarch of the Seasons 011.  The flaws of morning frosts are beginning to show nowMarch of the Seasons 012.  Suddenly the fringes of fall are looking winteringMarch of the Seasons 013and the table that was set for fall now sees the table cloth of snow that we knew would comeMarch of the Seasons 014.  The railings that were hot to the touch all summer now have the bite of coldMarch of the Seasons 015.  Now we march on with the season and only God knows where these steps leadMarch of the Seasons 017.

  3. the pictures of the leaves are always something i love to see as we sure dont get the beautiful color of fall like some folk do, but the pics of the sky are something else...its strange how you can not only feel and see the change of season, but at times you can almost taste it...hope winter isnt hard on you Joe.

    1. I like the leaves too, wish they were actual gold...I think that might solve a whole lot of problems for me! LOL! Winter is a big question mark this year...we'll just have to wait and see what happens with it.

    1. You're right John it's a giant reset. Sometimes this season can make you forget that there is something on the other side but there really is.

  5. The seasons can march a little slower as far as I'm concerned, lol. Especially the one ahead. Love the pictures.

  6. Hi Joe,

    I am with Beth, I am not looking forward to winter either. We have had a foretaste of it today, woke up to a light dusting of snow on rooftops. However, although it was really really cold when I went out, I much preferred it to the low cloud oppressive weather we had for a few days. I love autumn colours so must make the most of them now.

    1. I thought we were absolutely done with nice weather then I see we get some very nice weather come Monday...I guess you can never know for sure. I don't relish overcast days either but that's just what it is today. Autumn fades quickly some years and it's about done here so you're certainly right about appreciating it while we can. Have a blessed weekend my friend!

    1. So sorry about your heel Michiko. I had something awful with my heel after our trip to Ireland. I suffered and suffered for months then when I decided to go for a walk something felt like it just popped...it hurt really badly then seemed to heal up...now I'm free of the agony. I pray you find relief I know you dearly love to golf. Have a wonderful day as well.

  9. The turkey looks just great! Hard to believe Thanksgiving '12 has come and gone already, even though I've been thinking it seems more like winter than fall here for some time now.
    Glad to see you enjoying decorating in the holiday season with the family, I think the decked out basket is a nice touch. Christmas is a favorite time of year with all the festive bright lights, but mostly the cheery wishes of joy that I'd like to last all year round!

    1. My feelings about the season are sometime mixed but this year it's been really a blessing. Once Christmas leaves it's the hardest part of the winter for me but thus far it's been very mild for us. Bless you as well my friend.
