This weeks theme is: Fall
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
"October's Party"
~George Cooper
Yet another picture from Cades Cove
or leaving it in October of last year.
Taken with my Kodak z740.
The leaves, not quite as pretty as they
had been the year before but still very beautiful!!!
I love fall! Fall is exciting.
It's apples and cider.
It's an airborne spider.
It's pumpkins in bins.
It's burrs on dog's chins.
It's wind blowing leaves.
It's chilly red knees.
It's nuts on the ground.
It's a crisp dry sound.
It's green leaves turning
And the smell of them burning.
It's clouds in the sky.
It's fall. That's why...
I love fall.
~unknown
falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly
~John Bailey
Autumn is a second spring
when every leaf is a flower.
~Albert Camus
Everyone must take time
to sit and watch the leaves turn.
~ Elizabeth Lawrence
May each of you touch someone's life in some small way this weekend and may yours be touched for the good as well...
Enjoy your weekend!
One very pretty country road. And your poems and quotes are prefect for the theme and picture.

It does look like a leaving kind of picture, no pun intended. Beautiful location, great shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic photo, I just love driving around the bend and in the valleys you see the most beautiful colors. I agree this fall is not as beautiful as usual. I love the animation, the words and poems, made it feel like a celebration :)
ReplyDeletesimply gorgeous! Reminds me of a stretch of road out on the Eastern shore of Maryland near Annapolis. I went there last year at this time. COLD, but beautiful. Hmmm...should have included a couple of those in my slideshow!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with this post. Pictures, poetry and animation. Why Linda.... you took time on us! Thank you! :)
Fall is my favorite time of the year. The chill in the air time for snuggly sweaters and walks through the mountains with leaves crunching under my feet and the scent of smoke from fires in the early morning and late evening. I love swapping my sneakers for boots and getting the quilts out for the bed snuggling deep down into the piles of quilts and pillows. It's the perfect time for romance! You are so creative in bringing all those feeling to life with your photo's, poetry, quotes and music. A lovely place to sit and daydream here.
ReplyDeleteyour page very beautiful as always.. i love all, the entry and the pict. Thank you for sharing.. Have a nice day Linda..
