It’s been a full autumn here, so far, as usual, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s something about this season that makes me feel tremendously alive, like my cells are zinging and my synapses firing with extra flame. I think it’s the feeling of freedom that comes from the absence of heat, the return of Robert to our home, the cool of the night and the final pop of color out in the garden combined with the turning leaves on the trees. These days are brimming with long hikes, hot tea, the warmth of the sun blended with cold wind (one of my favorite things), hearty meals, bird hunting, camping, evening baths, working the dogs, and the task of filling the freezer before the snow sets in.
——————————————–
Life feels so spacious right now, we can hardly decide what to do with ourselves first…but we’ll probably go up the mountain again tonight, watch the dogs do their long-tongue-deep-sniffing-steady-quartering, grab a bird or two for dinner and witness the glory of another gorgeous day burning down.
This is life after the fire season and it’s a good life.
Glad your heart is full and filled with color!
xx
Just so.
Enjoy it fully, beautiful you! XO
Your love of the season, captured in photos and words, is just…..awesome. If only autumn could last forever, right?
My heart sings like the light breaking through the trees. It seems yours does too. Life IS good! Enjoy that lovely Idaho fall.
wow.
bless you for bringing beauty into my life today.
all that colour, the fact that ethically hunt for your food, and the awareness of life being so spacious and so good.
love that idaho!….love you….
Your world looks wonderfully on fire there – the gorgeous embrace of autumn. Here we are already settling into the steady drumbeat of “November” rains and howling storms – wonderful, but awfully DARK. Thanks for sharing a little of your light.
oh you beautifully feathered, fern-faced, lofty soul! sending you much blessings for a season of respite and rekindling xx
Oh. The light. The color. We’re to the gray and the rainy. Which I love. But oh. The light and the color.
may autumn lasts a long time, your words are exactly those I have in my heart.
thanks a lot.
Oh, I love it too!….maybe it’s the signal that soon we can rest and recalibrate over the winter…then emerge reborn in the spring?…it just feels like huge shift! Xo
The beautiful Autumn colors – like the years sunset, just before the dark of winter. SO happy for you to have Robert home again. SO happy in general for the Fall.
Beautiful indeed…a good sigh…good seeing you dear j
The colors are so saturated in every photo- love it all!! We have delightful chroma here in VA, however, the mighty but small Appalachians are being blustered again with willful winds. I mean, it just picks up and blows and lasts throughout the winter in to Spring. Yep, we have leaves now, but likely by Thanksgiving, the trees will be bare. But, goodness, I just heard some coyotes- love their songs and laughter!! (There’s a little view from my side of the country to share with you as a thank you for sharing with me. 😉 <3
‘Tis the season of the harvest, as the world (here, especially) set aflame. And as the coolness creeps in, it most definitely settles the soul. Such a perfect time of year!
I love your sunset shots, they are so mystical.
Enjoy your time, both with this season and with Robert (I know you will!)

Oh my oh my! I stumbled across your flicker account this evening while recovering from working multiple night shifts as a Registered Nurse. I am absolutely mesmerized by your images. Your photography simply put is stunning. I adore the vibrant, crisp, naturalness of it all. I look forward to following your blog. Of course the beauty comes from you in your photos, but may I ask what camera and your go to lens is? Additionally, I’m sure you’ve been asked this a million times before. I shoot with a Canon and am in love with my 50mm 1.4 lens currently. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!

Hey:)
I’m absolutely in love with your photos.
May I ask which camera you’re using?
But there are so many different cameras, so I thought I could ask some people whose pics I like to get some inspiration…
Thanks 🙂
