Autumn...Winter...Autumn...???





"Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns."
George Elliott

Or...George could come to Mammoth where we keep vacillating
between Fall and Winter...one minute it's fall, the next minute is seems to be winter,
then back again to fall!!!

I guess that's why I decided to show these autumn leaves in B&W...
a little bit of both!!!

(It's certainly been cold enough for winter...)

(Hah!!  I think I've finished Christmas shopping!!!  Yay!!!)

    Lots of drama with the b/w. Is all the snow gone?

    This photo looks great in B & W. Yeah our weather can't make up its mind either. I'm still hoping for more snow in our mountains. So far no luck. Maybe Santa will pull off a Christmas miracle! :)

    This is such a beautiful photo!

    We got snow last week. We have really strange weather here. Wayne and I live in the same county, so yes, 69F today but it's supposed to be in the 30s on Tuesday and 19 degrees on Christmas morning but unfortunately no snow.
