Beautiful photos, Mara. I love the warm, rich glow of those autumn colours.

Thanks a lot! Autumn is for sure the most photogenic season in my book. Warm colours, but not warm temperatures, that’s my only complaint 😮

Yes, in Scotland Autumn was often pretty but also very rainy and damp and grey. I enjoy the quality of light here in the US during Autumn. I cannot complain about the temperatures here in Pennsylvania either as it is still pretty warm during the day. I only switched on my overnight heating a couple of days ago to take the chill off.

You only switched your heating overnight, while here, my heating has been on since September, and it’s currently on full blast. It’s annoying, I never seem to get warm. I should probably move over to Pennsylvania 🙂

It has been unusually warm here this year. Today I walked to and from work wearing a thin blouse.

And the warm wave has just been carried over the ocean all the way here… I’m not complaining.

Meanwhile, we just got a very bitterly cold snap. On Saturday, we were in short sleeved t-shirts during the day and then a couple of hours later it snowed. Crazy climate.

It’s my favourite too, but I love the cold, crisp air and all that. Knowing that the sufferings of Summer is over 🙂

The sufferings of summer, haha… I see what you mean, but I feel it differently 🙂 30° C inside is quite a comfy temperature for me. Minimum survivable is 26° C.

I like to keep things compartmentalised too. With blogging though, I went for throwing everything together. You can’t please everyone all the time anyway, and it’s all me, no matter how varied, hence I only keep one blog. That, and also I’m too lazy to maintain more than one blog.

I say that so often … «you can’t please them all» but I apparently say it only ‘with my mouth’. It’s not fully settled in my mind, because I’m still trying.
LikeLike
Yep. That’s definitely a thing. There are things that I say, like “you can’t please them all”, and things I actually believe and do, and these are completely different.

That is possibly the best idea I have ever read in my entire life. The trouble is, something awful that repeats while you are asleep could be considered to be a recurring nightmare…

I’m pretty much used to nightmares, so I should be good. Your definition of Christmas as a recurring nightmare is the best.

I’m having so much “fun” that sometimes I think it will kill me before it’s Christmas or even Easter. Oh well, I’ll keep you posted.

Sadly I doubt it, thinking that ‘fun’ will kill you before Christmas is bordering on optimism. I suspect that you will have to suffer through it just like the rest of us 😀

There’s hope for me still. It’s been so freezing cold these days that if the “fun” I’m having doesn’t kill me, the cold will do the trick.

Thanks Mara. I’m not sure if they’re seriously great, but luckily I manage to capture some good shots in between all my useless ones. 😀

It might be luck, but you do have a sharp eye and a sense of the grungy, the edgy and the cheeky, which is right to my taste.
