reluctantly cede more gold
to autumn's ways
shades of green still reign supreme
were gold advances at a steady pace,
shines in autumnal hues

I see the trees putting on their finery for the autumn feast.
ReplyDeleteSlowly, slowly. Waiting for some cooler nights to put on the grand show!
DeleteI love the autumn colors and the trees colorfully celebrating the beginning of the new season! And, of course, the coffee and cake looks delicious! What better way for you to celebrate!! Have a lovely weekend, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteI imagine fall in your part of the world as very colorful.
DeleteThe cake was not mine, and I even forgot to taste it! ;-)
I follow you for a coffee in your wonderful Austria in Autumn ! Very beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteNice evening Merisi,
Nath.
Thank you! :-)
DeleteEuropean Autumn - the sister of King Midas (not to be mistaken with her flamboyant and firey cousin, North American Fall).
ReplyDeleteOh yes, East Coast fall blaze, who could compete? ;-)
DeleteWere you really so close to those deer?
ReplyDeleteThe colors are to die for there...
I bet you have 'melange' 3 times a day
Your food pyramid!
Carol,
Deleteyes, the deer were that close: I shot all these pictures with a 50mm lens, and did not crop them. The deer were standing next to a fence, being fed apples by another visitor.
I never drink more than two cups of coffee, often only one.
Merisi, let me report that green leaves also still reign in Central Park. However, the radiators in my apartment have been doing some nocturnal heat-emitting hissing and so I expect that when I take a walk in the Park next week, more colors might have emerged.
ReplyDeleteCarol's comment has made me smile...I would so love the opportunity to sample that melange and pastry.

Frances,
Deletethe horse chestnut trees here are under attack by the chestnut leaf miner moth. Its caterpillars tunnel through the leaves causing them to turn first mottled and then rusty. It's really sad.
I am happy that it is spring here, but oh, how I would love to be in Vienna in autumn!
ReplyDeleteEach season has its beauty.
DeleteMay spring bring you all you wished for!
Bright colors of autumn !
ReplyDeleteAutumn colours there seem well ahead of ours here.
