Autumn
Emily Dickinson
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.

how lovely your november 1st was...what gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeletei should have taken my camera with me today to share some photos with YOU! enjoy your weekend, sugar! ;-)
Oh Merisi! Can I say again just how much I loooove autumn? I adore this season. The colours in your photos are just spectacular. You have managed to capture the very thing I love about the season. Bravo! :)
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful shots. We've started winter over here.
ReplyDeleteI really like the man-made nature and nature shot. Great composition and tones. Happy November.
ReplyDelete"the rose is out of town".....well, if I know you right Merisis, your roses are not all totally out of town yet :-)
ReplyDeleteSAVANNAH:
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
I sure hope that next time you go for a stroll, you do take your camera. I would love to see photos of your beautiful city. Any chance you'd walk by Mercer house?
;-)
ANN:
Thank you so much! :-)
C'EST MOI:
Yes, I have been following the progress of Father Winter over in your part of the world. Very interesting to observe, but I am glad we still get a breather or two before snow arrives here.
PHOTOWANNABE:
Thank you! :-)
I am glad you noticed the subtly similarities between the iron works and the twigs, I found them startling.
BRITT-ARNHILD:
Yes, my dear astute reader and observer, - voice lowered to a whisper -, they are still out there, hiding from dear Emily. ;-)
Wonderful pictures as always ..
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the bench , looks both so romantic and sad
Thank you for sharing autumn. This is the season that I am most homesick for the North.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful harmonious view of the city (final pic)
ReplyDeleteThe lady sphinxes are very cheeky. Look plump breasts and buttocks. Tsk, tsk,
And I see the cranes.
I was going to ask what IS that building between the viewer and St Stephen's - then I realized it's probably the spire being refurbished. It's nice when they make the building works harmonious too.
Yes, with perfect pictures day becomes more beautiful. :-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day. Beautiful colors.

ReplyDeleteThis bench and the twigs right beside it made me reflect on the artist who created the design. Was he sitting on another bench, in front of a hedge with twigs like these?
HEXE:
You must feel the absence of fall keenly, having grown up in the beautiful Northeast!
SALLY CRAWFORD FROM LONDON:
You are right, it is the spire of St. Stephan's Cathedral, hidden behind scaffolding. Have you noticed the hills beyond, parts Vienna Woods, parts vineyards?
CUCKOO:
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
PAZ:
Yes, it was a splendid autumn day,
I truly enjoyed it.
Oh, indeed, I am so envious of the hills: a city woodland; city vineyards . . . (faints)
ReplyDeleteOurs are all built on - Hampstead and Highgate.
Next time I am up there I will photograph the city lying underneath.
The ones in the central city are built on as well (Cornhill, Ludgate Hill, etc.) but you can still 'feel' them under your feet.
I love all those golden leaves against that amazingly deep blue sky!
ReplyDeleteSally Crawford from London:
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to see your city vineyard photos! There's actually a very small plot of vines left in the city center, cultivated by a vintner from the hills further out.

Tara, it was one of those gorgeous autumn days I can never get enough of, truly uplifting. :-)
