THE FIRST HINTS OF AUTUMN

Last week, when I went out for a walk, I found that nature had changed a lot since the crisp bise air had settled again...

The trees are no longer verdoyant green, but have that brownish-green color that is so particular here, in September. Yes, fall has arrived through the big door and there's no need to trick ourselves into believing that summer's not quite finished!

Beautiful pictures and countryside. I noticed that you labeled them Geneva. Are these pictures from Geneva as my son is working there?

IVY: Thanks! Yes, those pictures were taken in the Geneva countryside, around Veyrier...

Ces photos sont superbes. Les couleurs de l'automne m'ont toujours subjuguées, ce mélange de teintes est un enchantement pour les yeux. Merci de me rappeler ce que c'est, car dans mon désert, je ne vois plus tout ça.

Beautiful photos of your countryside!

Love the shot of the vineyard. We are leaving, in a couple of days, for a quick trip to our wine region ... the Okanagan. We will also take some time to see a few of my relatives en-route, pick up some fruit etc.

i woke up today wishing for a colder day... its been almost a year now I have been "living"here in Florida where its warm and sunny all year round. I miss the autumn season especially in Switzerland when I see most shops decorated with autumn colours and pumpkins.....
