Last evening I finally got up off my (butt) to go for a walk. Walking is second only to yoga in making me feel refreshed and renewed. I know – so cliche – but so true.
I soaked up all the sights, sounds, and smells: golden sunlight spreading warmth over everything, honking geese gathering for the long flight ahead, and sweet wood smoke filtering through the trees.
I can’t believe that September is almost over . . . and how sad that makes me feel.
I used one layer of Kim Klassen’s “partings” on this photo. How fitting.
Beautiful autumnal color palette in this photo. The texture is perfect for it, too. I am more than ready to say goodbye to September for October will bring cooler temps our way.
Absolutely gorgeous! I may have to give yoga a try again…
What a wonderful photo! I’m so sad to see September come to an end too…it only means that we’re inching closer to winter :(
gorgeous colors! loveliness!
I’m with you on the yoga! Love how the texture added to the feel of your photo!
OK, maybe I will try Yoga…need something. Lovely image, so peaceful and so says Fall..!!
What a gorgeous image (and processing)…it perfectly evokes the mood your described with your lovely words. Fall is lovely, yet also so bittersweet…I relate completely to the sad feelings that can come with it. Thanks so much for sharing!
So gorgeous- it looks like a painting! Beautifully shot and processed.
Lovely capture and texture work, Barb !
It’s cold here and we have rain … oh, I’m not ready for Autumn :-(
Nice evening,
Sylvia
nothing like a walk to clear the mind. love this beautiful photo and the rich fall tones.
Love those round bales! gorgeously textured.
Calm and peaceful – those were the first words that came to my mind when I saw this photo. Your words just emphasize that. Beautiful work!
Lovely work.
Love your autumn photo today Barb. Also love your 2011 autumn mantel photo. Guess I love all the autumn colors, and you always have such lovely ones.
This is just lovely, Barb. It makes me feel a connection to so much that is long past yet clearly still within reach of my memory.
It is always a mix of feelings with the change of seasons and times of the year. I’ve learned to just keep rolling along and oftentimes I even forget when it is!!! [I am sure this comes of living where it is spring and summer-like year-round]
nice to “meet” you here in Texture Tuesday. your use of Partings made me see new possibilities. thanks so much!!
Barb, this is just beautiful.
I love the way you edited it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
xo.
Beautiful image and words…
