Hello autumn

It's autumn in Australia already! (Can you believe it?)
Pictures from weheartit.

Hello, my dear friend, Autumn, you have arrived today. I look forward your company as I watch the trees change colours and shed their leaves; I welcome the cool respite you bring, the refreshing rains, the smell of the air, the crispness of it against my skin. I shall savour hot soups, casserole dishes, warm pies and red, red wine. I love the dusting off of scarves, hats and warm jackets, the layering of clothes. I delight in the boundless opportunities to stay at home, wearing my cosy socks.

What do you love about Autumn?

Oh, I still can't get over the fact that our seasons are switched around! Here we are waiting for spring with anticipation!

:O interesting! I love autumn/falls. I love the color. though I never had one here, lol. poor tropical country sees sun all the time, and the grasses here are always green, lol. no fancy orange, heheh.

I love following blogs of people in other countries because of posts like this!! It's still winter here but I think its so cool how it can be autumn somewhere else in the world. I love the leaves changing color in autumn. It's my favorite part!!!

We have different seasons! Hahaha! I was so confused! I looked at my calender, then your post, then my calender, finally my mom had to explain!

I love playing in the fallen leaves!

I love the colors, the tasty food, and the fact that I can go outside and play among the trees without getting a fit of hayfever!

LanguageTimothy said...

Marz said...

What stunning images! I love the colours in fall, and the fact that I can start to layer again!

Brandi said...

Autumn! How lovely! We're finally getting close to spring. But I always miss the trees changing colors. There's actually not that much of that in Southern California. I need to find myself a giant forest of trees that change color. Luckily, I have some time to do so.

Absolutely gorgeous photos :) I love autumn, it's just such a pleasant time of year with its scarves, sweaters, hats, and such! We're still waiting for spring around here right now.

Gah, that's pretty awesome that you live in Australia :D I'm actually going there this July, which I can't wait for!

I love the coolness of Autumn. The changing of the leaves...the few that do change, here. The weather is so similar to Spring but I choose Spring.

~KS said...

I do love the beach... but I think my favorite season is autumn. I love the smell in the air, walking to class and watching the leaves fall from the trees, caramel apples, soup and hot apple cider, football... so much to love about autumn!!

Sam Saunders said...

Oh my goodness gorgeous pictures :)
I love autumn. Too bad we have to wait 6 more months before it rolls around in the States.... :(

chelsea rebecca said...

Crystal Ball said...

How lucky for you Australians. Autumn is my favorite season. I can't wait until October here in the states.

Nora Johnson said...

Beautiful pics, dear Trishie! Here in Spain we're just about entering Spring (if you can ignore all the storms after the wettest winter on record!) Both Autumn & Spring are my favorite seasons: cool & fresh!

Have a great week!

XOXO LOLA:)

beingdena said...

all the things you mentioned, the layering of clothes, the beautiful leafs on the ground, walks in the park....

We are slowly getting spring here in London :))

Wini said...

Hi Trishie, thanks for the reminder! I'm so sad that summer is over. When I was young I used to love playing in the autumn leaves. In the house where I'm living now, its mainly natives, and the trees seem to drop their leaves all year round! I'm forever sweeping my courtyard...!

Little Bear Stories said...

oh how i love autumn, got a while to wait for ours although i am enjoying the start of spring. love the pictures, the brown shoes are so cute!

Lemon said...

such a sweet little note to autumn!! i like imagining its unfolding somewhere distant from me. it's most definitely the throngs of snow-land here (with a tease of spring here and there). enjoy the leaves!!

Lily Riani said...

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Lucky!! I wish it was Autumn here in the US. Sigh. Lol. These photos are gorgeous. My favorite part of Autumn is the gorgeous changing colors on the trees and the anticipation of slightly cooler weather. ;)

those pictures are so lovely - i love fall for the colors like that. fall always has the best lighting, weather, and colors here. it will be the only thing i miss when i move - autumn in ohio is basically top notch.

Jen Kim said...

Victoria said...

the changing leaves are just so pretty during autumn, and i love colder weather, like where you can go outside with just a light jacket on. thats probably my favorite part.

Moosette said...

Autumn is definitely one of my favorite times a year! I love the first crisp, cool night after a long hot summer! Enjoy!
