A glowing vignette |
We have had a recent run of absolutely beautiful temperate weather here in Maine. The day time temperatures have been as high as 74F and it has been so very pleasant being outdoors enjoying the last vestiges of the summer like weather. Plus it made taking in the wood to keep us warm this coming winter so much easier to achieve.
But the autumn/fall in Maine is not just about the brilliant colours of red, orange and yellow but also the lovely muted, antique, dreamlike russets, greyed whites, pale yellows and dark tracery of naked branches and veins on the leaves.
Ghostly white leaves - pretty against the backdrop of russets |
Checkerboard leaves - lovely colours - I wonder what they are? |
I love the tumble and tumult of the speckled, sprinkly fields
And of course we cannot leave out the young maple leaves that turn such a pretty, almost ghostly pink....
I leave you though with some of the glowing autumn colours we think of when we think of "Fall in New England"
I hope you are enjoying your season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Next up on my blog will be a luscious, sticky, stodgy Pear and Ginger Cake that just screams out for lashings of custard.
STAY TUNED and please consider following me on
