Warm colors
And melancholy...

Some say they can smell the ongoing demise

The leaves are turning yellow
And orange

Did you see her?
Her hair is made of autumn

Her face?
Where is it?

Her face is still looking for the summer
The one she always keeps in her heart

It's chilly now
We'd better put that jacket over our shoulders

And find a nook to spend the winter in

Hurry up!
The rains are coming

I had a bunch of autumn shots I wanted to share. The ones with the orange leaf are among my favorites, especially the second one! Oh, and that picture with the spider web is really awesome in my eyes, it's as if it has different layers; although there is no complex technique in it (some lenses work wonders on their own, as long as there is enough light around).

Let me know which shots you like best!

Yeah I’ve seen her face at spring
Just after the winter departed

She arose with the sun in summer
And the heat toned her evenly

Met her on the eve of Christmas
Doing some winter shopping

But to snap out of my hallucination
She’s right here in my imagination

Such pretty words @olumideolowoyeye!!

So amazing.. The feelings, the colors, the matching lines from you.
I always feel a sadness during autumn. I think the photo that in a strange way, I like the most, is the 3rd from the end.
It looks a bit sad, lonely, cold.
Like it waits to be hold.
But it will soon fall.
In the dirty soil, it will dissolve.


And, oh, the wonders you and your lenses do!
I am so happy you have the new camera :) I still remember the excitement when you first got it! 💙

Beautiful poem, Katerina!

Thanks for the compliment!! This excitement never goes away, on the contrary it gets even bigger! :D

I love the leaf, with the rain drops, and the tomato. They're not very autumnal, are they. Maybe I"m in the mood for life tonight. A beautiful photo essay. I do have to get a camera.

Oh thank you! The colors make for an autumnal scenery I guess... I love how everything turns yellow, brown and orange this time of the year!

You know who bought me this camera? Steemit! Maybe you could invest some of that crypto on photographing gear and buy a present to yourself! ;)

I never think of spending my crypto. Someday, if it adds up, maybe... Right now, Christmas is around the corner. A broad hint might do it :)

Her hair is made of autumn

Such a beautiful line. Also how each photo rhymes with its lines.

Oh wow! What beautiful shots. What I like most about them is the bokeh effect. It always thrills me. I also like the first three shots the most. Keep em coming!

Thank you so much for the kind words!! The bokeh is what makes a photo magical (in my eyes at least).

φθινοπωρο...οντως ασυγκριτα χρωματα...η δευτερη σε σειρα καλυτερη μου εποχη μετα το χειμωνα...η τελευταια φωτο με το φυλλο και τις σταγονες πετυχημενη!

Σε μελαγχολεί, αλλά ταυτόχρονα σου χαρίζει και τόσες απίθανες αποχρώσεις...

I'd be hard pressed to choose just one of these amazing pictures. I love macro shots like these and the colour and light on the water droplets and curve of the leaf. It truly is an Autumnal story.

We are finally in our English house and I LOVE our Garden here. There are many fruit trees and the scent of the rotting apples and the fragrance of the quince is so dreamy.

We even have a few variety of roses that are still blooming here as well as the wild honeysuckle. Back in the USA these are all gone in my garden there, so I am looking forward to seeing how I can have this Winter English garden.

Again, really lovely photos, so OF the season.

Your descriptions made me feel like I was there... I saw your post yesterday, but I was too tired to leave a comment. I am moving in a new house and you can sympathize with the tiredness, anxiety and excitement!!
I am going to miss your sea views and that beautiful garden of yours, but I know you'll make an amazing D&W Kingdom in your new house! :)

No worries as my sea views will return in the Summer, as I'll be back there then :) Good luck with your house things as well.
