After the Rain

By Lorraine

 Right after heavy rains, the front went through and the sky
became blue and filled with fluffy white clouds.

The sun shown down and caused glistening raindrops
glowing golden leaves

 vivid orange mums

 and multicolored maples
~No wonder autumn is a favorite season for so many~

Autumn is youthful, mirthful, frolicsome ~ the child of summer’s joy ~ and
on every side there are suggestions of juvenility and mischief.
While spring is a careful artist who paints each flower
with delicate workmanship,
autumn flings whole pots of paint about in wild carelessness.
The crimson and scarlet colours reserved for roses and tulips are
splashed on the brambles till every bush is aflame, and the
old creeper-covered house blushes like a sunset.
Roger Wray

    Such gorgeous autumn colors. I hope that it stops raining soon around here and I get to enjoy a little more of autumn before it turns in to winter.

    Beautiful photos, I am afraid our trees are not going to be too pretty this year, too hot and too dry

    I absolutely appreciate you sharing your photographic talent! It is a wonderfully cozy, reflective and somehow comforting time of year. Your pictures capture it's essence beautifully! (As I type, the oven just signaled it's ready for the Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake recipe I just whipped together from this beautiful blog. Thank you!!).
