The Summer season is almost closing ....


Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn
Elizabeth Lawrence

Autumn is just around the corner,
the first leaves already turned yellow and fell down.
My favorite tree in the middle of the backyard
will soon be leafless.
I adore the silhouette of the bare branches !

  3. We have autumn in Arizona but not really here in the city. I have to drive about 2 hours north but it is totally worth it. Nothing like watching the seasons change, it always makes me feel invigorated to start something new.

  4. Hi Saskia, my sweet friend!! I don´t know why, but this year I´m looking forward to autumn, maybe it´s because this summer has been so hot that now I just want to wear my jacket again!

    Beautiful quote, the warm colours of the autumn´s leaves are perfect to draw and paint them!

    Hope you have a lovely afternoon!!

  9. brrrr some days are cold! some are sooo hot! ...I walked out with a sweater the other day and it was scorching! Lesson learned, now its time to always watch the forecast on television because we never know what the weather is up to right now!

  12. So clever of you to think of how pretty the leafless tree looks, instead of mourning the loss of its' leaves. I'm looking forward to autumn too, Saskia!

  22. Hi Saskia!
    Yes, there is JOY to be found in each season ~ some of the early bird trees have changed here too... just a bit.
    The real POP will be in October.
    I always say little prayers for my apple trees during the worst of the winter... They are so brave in the cold ♥
    Wishing you sweet autumn smiles~

    I just read your last post, and I had to laugh! I lost an earring in the ocean this summer and now I have been mixing and matching! I have 4 holes and 4 different earrings! They are similar, but they don't match! I don't think anyone has noticed! FUN!

    I always notice this too. I told my husband the other day ... look leaves are falling... Fall is approaching! He looked at me and said ... it's 90 degrees outside ... fall is no where in site!

    But nature is getting herself ready ... Fall is around the corner.

  36. Saskia, your eyes have not deceived you...I am up!!! YESTERDAY, I WOKE UP AT 3:00am my time! TOday, 3:30am......I have to take my husband to work then go across town to my job to get into my classroom by 6:15am. Crazy, uh? But I get a lot done, and I am a "morning person" so, I am very productive. The first two days went well, but I will have to find balance as it is NOT healthy to go at the pace that I am going, ALL YEAR LONG!

    Thank you dearest for asking......have a sweet day! Anita

  42. Hoi Saskia,

    Van mij mag het nu ook herfst worden. Het is ook weer heerlijk om in huis aan het rommelen te zijn. Ik ben wat aan het experimenteren met bakken en koken en ga binnenkort ook maar weer eens wat schilderen in huis! Het is daar nu het perfecte weer voor. Met de meisjes gaat het goed. Het is voor Li wel even wennen in Den Haag, maar ik hoop dat het goed komt! Ik hoop dat met jou kinderen ook alles goed gaat?

    Een gezellige avond!

    Lieve groet, Madelief

  44. Saskia, thank you so much for visiting my blog and the lovely comments you left. I love your beautiful Joy!

    Autumn is truly so beautiful to fall into after Summer, we are heading into Spring full of new life and beginning. The silhouettes of the bare trees I love as well, there is a hidden beauty found there.

    I hope you have a wonderful autumn day. xx

    I love the four seasons but alas in sunny Florida we don't experience the four seasons as intense as in some northern and southern parts of the world! Your back garden looks lovely.....the small part that I can see....the bench, green grass and green leaves of the tree!

  54. Autumn is my absolute favourite too, my neighbours had a beautiful tall liquid amber that looked stunning and ghost like during winter, I looked forward to it every year. I came home one day and they were cutting it down,I couldn't believe it I actually cried. Some people don't see the beauty I guess. Megan xx
