Welcome, autumn! - Lukijan värssy






No day is as sweet as a sunny and still autumn day. It's not difficult to see why maturity and old age are likened to autumn. It is the gentle time of rest, well earned after a life (a summer) of work (in the garden), the quiet period when one may settle down in the rich maturity of years (gardening chores) and contemplate one's past life and memories (the successes and lessons learned)... :)






















Sanomalehdet kannattaa lukea tarkkaan. :) Sattumalta löysin vanhasta maakuntalehtemme numerosta lukijan lähettämän syksyisen runon. Kirjoittaja on E.T. Leppävirralta (lehdessä näkyvät vain nimikirjaimet).



"Tervetuloa syksy
viileänraikkaat aamut
kiireiset korjuupäivät
lempeät kuutamoillat
hiljaa lipuvat tuulastulet

Tervetuloa syksy
saappaat ja sateenvarjo
kirpeät karpalot suolla
punaiset puolukkamättäät
sienimetsän hiljainen rauha

Tervetuloa syksy
lehtien värikäs tanssi
sateen iloinen ropina
lämpöinen villahuopa
takkatuli ja runokirja"






♥!

  1. Runo täynnä tunnetta ❤️ samoin sinun kauniit kuvasi.

    Suloiset sukat. Hienot kuviot.

    Pikkutomaatit ovat maukkaita... mutta älä sitten haukkaa tuosta pilkullisesta sienestä ! 🍄

  2. Great series of images, Sara, showing all the bounty of fall, both wild and domesticated. I have always wished that I had the skill to be confident about eating wild mushrooms. I could go out into the local woodland this morning and gather a feast. Instead I would probably make myself sick!

  3. It's hard to believe that it is now Autumn. This year seems to have flown by. Your peas and tomatoes look delicious. Gorgeous autumnal colours, beautiful pictures and stunning socks!!! Have a wonderful September Sara with hugs from us :)

  4. Voi miten syksy maistuukin hyvältä, kun sen oikeilla merkeillä ja sanoilla tuo esiin! Onpa ihanat pyöreät tarjottimet herkkuja puutarhasta ja tuo kärpässieni - oikea kuvakirjojen täydellinen esimerkki! Antoisia syksyn hetkiä!

  5. Your photos are great. I used to go mushroom hunting with my dad when I was a young girl. It was a lot of fun. Your crops look so good. It is cool here this morning so I know fall is coming. Have a blessed day. Madeline

  13. I love your individual photos, but I found your collage of autumn beautiful, but tinged with sadness as winter rather than autumn had seemed to have arrived. I hope you still have some sunny days left before your long winter.

  18. I am patiently awaiting Autumn here, Sara. I can feel it coming. You're right, it's a gentle season, and a special one. Your socks looks warm and cozy and the colors perfect for Fall. Your pictures are always so pleasing to the eye.

  19. ..och det var en väldigt trevlig dikt Sara! Ja, det är något speciellt med hösten, färgerna förstås men också något mera rofyllt - lugnet kommer åter och det är alltid välkommet.

    Trevlig helg Sara!

  20. Autumn has come this year not by a number on the calendar but by cooler weather and leaves starting to change colour early.
    That's fine, I'm ready for it and love all this season has to offer.
    Your images are stunning as usual my friend.

    1. Thank you for your comments, dearest Baili! I understand how you feel, but since I have very little time for the Internet now, the other option would be to stop posting altogether. I believe in reciprocity and if someone leaves a comment on my blog, I must pay that person a visit, and as soon as possible. :) There's so much beauty (in nature) I want to share, but so little time! Thank you for your understanding. <3

  28. You have such wonderful thoughts and images expressed! A delight for soul as I always love to say; I enjoyed every aspect captured by your camera lens to make this portrait of autumn and I think that's the essence of this season that soon will really come. As for now, in here, still looks as summer, though there are some cloudy skies; but, still, too warm at this hour... :) :)
    Have a wonderful and colorful autumn, a great week of september, too! Alexa

  36. Hello Dear Sara, I so enjoyed your recent visits and have been missing your magical inspirational posts. Life can get a little hectic at times and I completely understand that sometimes we all just have to step away from our computers and live life in the real World. Otherwise we just simply would't get anything done! I hope you and your family are keeping well.
    I so enjoyed all of the beautiful autumnal colours from your last 2 posts. I must say that the piza and the fruit pancakes look sooo delicious.
    Have a wonderful September dear Sara. Hugs from us xx

    Sara, lovely photos! What is this one with frost? Or it's hoarfrost? The autumn is cold especially nights are here. I'm worrying about the plants I left in my greenhouse. Your hydrangea is of the nice color.

    1. Thank you, Nadezda! I hope the nights there are not too cold for your plants. We had a very short Indian summer, only for one, two days, now it's only foggy and cloudy. :) In my posts, you can see many leaves with fog droplets on them, I think the photo you mean is of a lupin.

  41. You enrich my soul!
    you make my heart bloom!
    how can i say just one word "thank you" it is nothing front of your magical post who work like therapist on my senses and wash away all the burdens of responsibilities that day brings on my shoulders.

    I don't know how you do this but believe me for me you do magical poetry through your unusual way of capturing which seems undeniably Beautiful and unique .

    Yes autumn's calmness and gloomy colors bring strange feelings to soul.

    Magnificent shots dear Sara .
    that foggy lake took me into the mysterious world of silence and serenity which dissolved in delicate touch of self consciousness and rediscovery of memories belong to my beautiful past when i was like feather floating in sky with peace and fun.
    Love you my friend so much ,take great care
