Last week I did a couple early morning walks in the neighborhood. While most mornings were foggy, one was lovely. But in typical Northern California manner, the morning was very chilly. I left the house right when the sun was rising over the hills and threw some light onto the pavement.
So early, my shadow went across the entire intersection.
While some trees were already pretty bare, a lot of them were still wearing their autumn dress. It was particularly beautiful when the leaves were backlit.
With the sun climbing higher, my shadow became gradually shorter.
On my way I picked up a few leaves that had fallen to the ground. I will be using them in my journal.
Back home it was time for breakfast and a nice cup of coffee, which is also my ticket to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Tuesday.
To those of you who live in the US, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
Dear Carola, I absolutely love all your photos, including the ones with your shadow! Truly captivating! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the long shadows we get at this time of year — but the very short days are a bit depressing.
ReplyDelete...man oh man, you have long legs!
ReplyDeleteLove your Fall photos and your shadow photos. Those are always fun to take. Great Yellowstone mug. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteYou had a lovely walk by the looks of it Carola. You still have quite a bit of autumn color in your area too. And those shadows are great. It's fun to see what it's like where people live and then see how different it is when where others live. Nice mug too, and I like those peeks of all your books behind it. Have a great T day and Thanksgiving. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteOh I loveee your Yellowstone mug very much. Beautiful fall photos

Love your "long-legged look!"
ReplyDeleteSchönes Schatten-Foto! Und die Blätter - hier ist schon Alles "nackich". Und für die Jahreszeit zu kalt, kam in den Nachrichten. Brrr...
ReplyDeleteI keep getting a fail to publish message, Carola. I will try again later.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday Carola! Wonderful Autumnal colours and the warm sun on them is lovely! Love the shadow photo of you. Wonderful leaves and trees. Truly beautiful. Have a lovely Tday and a wonderful rest of the week! lovely mug :)
ReplyDeleteLet me try again! The shadows are wonderful, Carola. It's good to notice such things. It's been a long time since I went for a pre-breakfast walk. I am often out early but I always eat before I leave the house. Perhaps it's time for a change! Many hugs - David
ReplyDeleteMy gosh that first tree is just stunning. I like the shadow photos too. Have a very nice day today.

Your walk took you to some lovely sights. The red leaves are gorgeous. Ours are almost gone now.
