black and white Wednesday - a welcome change

Delicious autumn!
 My very soul is wedded to it,

and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

~ George Eliot

The first signs were subtle...the sun sitting lower in the sky.

And the light, there's something about it in late Summer/early Autumn,

it's different, more of an amber color.

We've had much cooler day and night time temps for the last few weeks.

Over the weekend I saw the first leaves changing color at the top of a few trees.

Vibrant orange and russet.

It may not be Autumn officially on the calendar,

but it's arriving in southern Wisconsin.

And now it's become much more obvious...

when we can find pumpkins.

I never tire of them.

It's the shape, form and color.

The funny looking bumpy ones, smooth ones, orange, green, white..

I love them all.

Orange is not a color that looks good on me as far as clothing, but I love seeing it.

It makes me happy!

I've been blogging now for a little over 3 years,

and every Fall I write about how it is my very favorite season.

So I look forward to posting many more images that capture this season of

glorious change and harvest.

I took these over the weekend, when Grace and I went out scouting locations

for me to take pictures of clients.

I got lost out in the countryside(which is easy to do here with the many small back roads).

We stopped to turn around, and I took the pictures (above) of Grace on the fence.

On the way home we came upon a roadside stand with pumpkins.

After spending about 20 minutes looking at the great variety

(there were so many types and kinds I didn't capture),

we bought 2 large ones for our front porch.

Grace picked out a few mini-pumpkins for Will and herself.

Next time we'll be back with Will and Daddy.

It's black and white Wednesday again, please go over to Lisa's blog,

The Long Road to China to see many more images.

And Happy Wednesday,

I hope you're enjoying the early Fall. :)
