Okay, you got me with the little pink mushroom. We had one day of rain recently which may bring forth a few of those cuties.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and I like the quotations you used alongside them.
ReplyDeleteAll these photos are lovely “Anthem to Autumn”! My favorite photos are No. 4 and 6 and my favorite words is Thomas Hardy’s.

You saved the best til last!
ReplyDeleteIt's a delight to see autumn there. Quite rich in colors and absolutely beautiful. Our autumn colors and light are fading quickly now. Soon bare branches against winter skies.
ReplyDeleteLovely feeling of the details of Autumn. And I'm snaffling your George Eliot quotation!
