Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile ....



One of the advantages of aging is the ability to see more clearly what's really important in life.
Last weekend the weather was beautiful and at the same time there were still a lot of (household) chores waiting for me.
I had previously given such priority or maybe a bit of everything but these days a decision is easily made.
As the following pictures show we took a lovely walk in the woods .... 



And beheld all the beauty of autumn gives us, such as the many types of mushrooms .... 








And its many colours ....




The contrast between the beautiful colour-changing leaves and moss covered
tree stumps ....



But also the last traces of summer ....



There are still so many bugs because of the mild weather ....


The nice quiet, warm and sunny late summer days ensures that the leaves do fade,
but not yet falling from the trees.
                                                                  ~  Indian summer ~



Nature prepares for winter and there's nothing better than to go out , enjoying all that beauty ....

Wish you a beauty-full weekend,
Anita xo

    1. Thanks for your ( for me stimulating ) comment. I try to stay close to myself on my blog and that seems to be working.
      This past weekend it has been that kind of weather that you'd better stay in so I've been a "good girl" and done my "chores" ;-) Hope you also had a good weekend! Anita xo
