“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 Eliot
Autumn in town…
Autumn at the Jersey shore… 😉
Any way you cut it, it’s a magical, mystical, marvelous time of year.

Dear Bliary 
Autumn is not usually my favorite season, but looking at these pictures, I’m thinking maybe it should be. So pretty!
Thanks., G. They’re all pretty in their own way. 👍❤️ Eyes of the beholder, and all…
Oh no!!! >>> I’ve just posted a comment on your blog and my good old net connection seems to have blown it totally away – confusticate!
Anyway, what I said, and will now say again is … I like your photos! That’s a cardinal in the top one, isn’t it? Beautiful! And in the lower one, trying cropping close around all those fences (but don’t exclude any parts of them), and then change it to black and white and boost the contrast a bit (make it more black and white) >>> and if it all goes wrong >>> blame me, I know you’ll enjoy that … And I hope you’re fine. ATP XXX
I’m good, A. And I’m going to try that right now!
Thanks.
I hope this shows up. Better?
Great stuff! >>> yes it shows up. But you’ve still to change it to mono and boost the contrast – are you into contrast??? Maybe not. But what do you think of it now – is it a plus or a minus??? Be honest – I’ll only hurt deep inside! If it were me, I’d probably crop even tighter and remove those people – but that’s me!!! Oh yes, and I remembered to mention your big hugs to the Magic Carpark, indeed I shouted your message and “from Mrs Gemma McCourt” – the place knows you now! And Halloween passed off peacefully, which is a relief. Take good care of yourself, you! ATP xxx
Any better?
Autumn looks wonderful in your images here!
Thank you, Christy. 🙂
It sure can be. Tomorrow calls for blistery cold. Catch me again then. LOL
blistery cold? nooooooooo! it seems too early for cold weather, but yes, it’s time…
great post! z
Good to ‘see’ you, z. Thanks. Yes, yet again time to wrap up in a blanket with some hot chocolate and a good book, or paintbrush. Whatever your preference. 😉
both are important parts of my life.. some days i tweak my attention to a good book and barely move for the rest of the day.. guilt free – i’m worth it, and if the book is well written, it deserves to be appreciated!
i miss public libraries, btw….
did you have trick or treaters:
Incredibly enough, not a one! But Jeff bought some good candy. I’m rolling in M&M’s and Baby Ruths! Boy am I in trouble!
i laughed… yes, i would be in trouble as well.. i have zero will power when it comes to tempting sweets, and i haven’t had a baby ruth in years.. i would be sneaking little candy bars every few hours until they were all gone!

Beautiful photos, Gemma. The Jersey Shore looks very inviting, even in autumn. 🙂
And the water was not too cold! Feet only. 😉
I too enjoy autumn, but my favourite season by far is spring! I do love your shot of the beach – very well captured!
Thank you, Madoqua. Its getting s bit chilly there. 😝
Love the cardinal, being Ohio’s State bird, they visited the bird feeder often. Great shot if the beach! I’m with Lisa, the chocolate candy would be gone in a couple days.:) Stay warm amiga.
🌞 no staying warm today. Ugh! You are welcome to our chocolate anyday. Maybe dome HOT chocolate today! 😉
Beautiful creature birdie in the middle of Autumn. Cool.
cheers,
Nurul
And getting cooler by the minute! Thank you, Nurul. 🙂
I love your three m words – just flows with your style amiga
“magical, mystical, marvelous time of year…” and I agree – and was just noting the colors when I let the dogs out just now… so this was right in my thinking – also – oh wow – you caught a cardinal – yes!!! and the lines of the branches have an artsy feel – cheers….
And it’s right outside my window. Lucky! 😉
Thanks, Yvette.
you have a nice window view for sure. and I am glad I came back here – because I just noticed those two pictures of the sand fences is one of the coolest photos I have seen in a while. The wavy line design and the angle. what a shot! I also like the edits you tried – how fun. and well first and fabulous – you really are the “comment queen” – ❤ ❤
Too much!?!?!? Ok. I’ll back off 😁
Oh it’s Autumn for sure all those pretty leaves blowing about 🙂
That NJ shore line looks pristine, how lovely to walk along that beach Gemma .
The water was a bit cool. But refreshing. Might be a different story today. Brrrrr…💨
Spectacular! It just looks perfect. Not too cold or too hot. Happy Fall!
Hope yours is HAPPY too, Angelia. 😉 Thanks.
Lovely quote and shots Gemma. The shore looks so peaceful. I love Autumn. 😀 ♥
Thanks, Sophia. 🍂🌿🍂🌿🍂😉
Very nice colours in this nice photo.
Thank you, bente. 😉
Will have to imagine autumn at the shore, as my computer refuses to call up the photo. But the red cardinal arrived in all his glory! Great shot —
I wonder why. Well, it’s purdy. 😉
Thanks for the visit, Judith.
