Leaves, Blog Love + Have a Great Weekend!

I love the changing of the leaves...the autumn leaves of red and gold. I love Autumn.

Although Fall is over (according to United States unofficial tradition the fall season ends around December 21), there are some places around the world where you can still enjoy a beautiful autumnal day.
Autumn leaves made of gold.
Well, to my unexpected surprise this beautiful blog award came my way recently, and I'd like to take the time out to say a big thank you to the wonderful Marcia over at Learning Ideas Grades K-8. Marcia has a lovely blog and always brings a smile to my face. 
Marcia, thank you so much indeed. I am flattered and honoured!

Go and visit her blog if you haven't already.

Now, I'm too bad with rules so I've decided that I'm going to give this adorable blog award to all of you honouring the friendship that you, guys, have given me.
I really appreciate all of you so much!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, my lovelies! xx

Beautiful pics, Betty. Winter is upon us here in Wyoming, US. Love the fall...it is my favorite time. Have a great weekend!

Emm said...

Beautiful photos! I think I would agree that winter begins in the UK on 21 December, because spring only begins to make an appearance at the end of March. It was different in South Africa. Spring and summer began on 8 August and 8 November respectively, with the equinoxes and solstices marking mid-season.

Your photos are beautiful, my dearest Betty. The colors are everything that autumn is... crisp, bright, and refreshing!

I wish you a beautiful winter season to come. There is nothing more mysterious and delicious than that shortest day of the year, when everything is dark and cool and we are all waiting for the first spark of snow to fall and dazzle us with its beauty.

Big hugs to you, my dear!

Nevine

You should put your settings on "Anonymous" not allowed, then this idiot above me has no chance to get his crap published. I tried it for several times on my blog too.

Great pics!
I really enjoy the fall season.
The beautiful colors on the leaves.
When I was little we used to rake up leaves and stuff to make an autumn house. We'd put our pumpkins in it.

I love leaves. It's so fun to watch the colors change throughout the year. Right now many of my trees are bare. A few months and I"ll begin to see the green on them again. Really nice photos.
