Early autumn light
There is a special clarity in the light of early autumn.
It bathes roses in magical golden tones
And turns lavender into glorious purple works of art.
If you get up early enough, you can drink
The dew from shy violets
And enjoy the droplets on early morning roses.
My son loves the vibrancy of autumn leaves
And brings home some leafy sunshine every day after school
To put into a vase of water,
Crying every time the leaves curl up and die.
No better way to learn about the brevity and beauty of life, I suppose.

Breathtakingly beautiful photographs!

just wonderful!

Your son already is learning how to appreciate fleeting beauty. Gorgeous captures of my favourite season LadyFi
October 15, 2012 at 16:48
Brilliant, but, number 3 is my favourite, superb.

Autumn leaves you cannot beat, as a child they seemed even more a special gift to cherish. As a kid, we put them between sheets of waxed paper and placed a giant Oxford Dictionary on top -the wax preserved them and the colour. My mother still has a couple, so she says, if she could find them. Am 53, I’d be surprise she does, but they still might be in the old Oxford Dictionary.

Your son is indeed already aware of the fleeting beauty in our world and that does say a lot about the home he comes from. Gorgeous captures and wise reminders to enjoy the fleeting beauty of every day. I do love the droplets of water, too.
October 15, 2012 at 17:11
Always enjoy your warm and wonderful captures of nature’s ever-changing magic.
October 15, 2012 at 17:23

The world is a better place for it.

Truly Magical! Beautiful captures!
October 17, 2012 at 12:58
Of all the reasons I love autumn the light and the last flash flash of color with the foiliage are my favorite.
October 17, 2012 at 13:36
Beautiful! I especially like the first two – the colouring of the first one in particular is lovely and nostalgic.
October 17, 2012 at 14:21
Your son is as sensitive as you to nature. Children learn from their environment. I’m in love with the speial clarity in the early autumn light, too.
October 17, 2012 at 16:29
Beautiful fall colour, I especially love the rose with the dew on it.
October 17, 2012 at 18:31

So talented, Lady! Your photog skills are impeccable.
October 17, 2012 at 23:22
The light is so special in your photos of autumn and the hues of nature at that time.
Sadly where I am, there are no great foliage color changes nor does the light get better. Infact it gets worst.
Love the flowery takes
October 18, 2012 at 05:41
rather enlightening
October 18, 2012 at 08:33
Your commentary takes the excellent images to a new level!!
October 18, 2012 at 09:25
my heart expands and my face softens into serenity whenever I visit YOU!

October 21, 2012 at 17:04
I too love to take close ups of flowers, have taken a few this past week.;) However, my camera is not as good as yours.;) Nor is my eye or my photography skills.;) These are simply enchanting – love the violets.;)
xoxo
October 22, 2012 at 16:31
The autumn light is so pure and beautiful, it makes my heart feel so light and happy.
A very good reason to go out in the morning and enjoy it (and taking pictures)
October 22, 2012 at 20:41
Colorful pics…
October 23, 2012 at 16:30

Hi Fi! I was scrolling down your blog just to see if I’d missed any posts (I hadn’t thanks to your RSS feed) and as I moved down the page, I was quite stunned at all the beauty that you have portrayed here. I am fortunate to have found you on this massive mystery we call the world wide web- fortunate indeed! Cheers, Danette
