Tantalize






I could tantalize you with portraits of the rural landscape that reveal the beauty of the Autumn season...



Or share the muted shades of buffs and taupes that capture the tranquility of antique linens and quilts...



balancing the vibrance of the hardwood forest.

Nature is playing her final curtain before she paints the countryside in a blanket of white...

    There's so many beautiful colours around in autumn. Such a shame that they don't last very long before all the leaves are on the ground.

    Lovely, lovely photos - some of them look remarkably like our area! :)

    Winter-ish temps are already here in Wisconsin - and I'm tucking my tomato plants under tarps every night, hoping to extend the ripening time.

    Susan, love the photos and the sweet words......makes me want to sit with a cup of tea and just gaze at the beautiful colors of Autumn, that is until the snow flies!
    I do love winter too though so it wouldn't be too hard to enjoy the scenery, thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures!
    Hugs

    this is absolutely beautiful scenery. Love the winter picture too, but I am dreading that season already. I would like it to be white only around Christmas, ha ha. Like having your cake, and eating it too.
