Almost... by laurentye

Almost...

I can feel that it's Almost Autumn. Today was beautiful outside but to me it had a definite feel of nearing the end of summer. We passed by the local park, which was absolutely crowded with people - as if it were their last chance to enjoy an outdoor barbeque in the park this summer.

I'm sure this may have been one of the last really warm weekends left this season and that's okay with me. I am so excited for fall! As I mentioned in a previous picture it is absolutely my favourite season!

To me, Autumn means:
-warm, cozy sweaters
-reading beside the fire
-hot chocolate and apple cider
-warm soup
-and colourful leaves and cool, crisp air

The perfect season!
I LOVE Autumn, means winter is just around the corner!! You captured this beautifully!! So true about the cozy sweaters, fire, hot chocolate, soup and colorful leaves....aaawww I love the crisp air too!!!

@jgoldrup maybe there will be a teeny tiny bit of summer left for you here :) but really, if you are here that means you will be missing out on some of the spectacular NS autumn. i wouldn't even want to miss a week of that i love it so much!

Perfect pic for your words. I'm with you - summer is almost over but LOVE the fall season. I'm taking most of my vacation in September to enjoy the changing colours. Love the smell of the first wood fire and I just bought my first cozy sweaters for the upcoming season. Just wish fall would last 5 months and winter for one month. ;-)

I used to follow you but noticed you are no longer on my list. 365 seems to have taken a few people off my list. Added you back on!

@russianblue hahaha the same thing happened to me with another person here. I was following them and i am 100% positive that i didn't unfollow them, but they dissappeared off my list. oh i better make sure you are still on my list :)

Gorgeous colors and what a love letter to fall. I love fall too, but i really hate how close winter feels. I'm holding on to summer as long as I can

This is just lovely. The bokeh is beautiful. I can't believe how cold it's getting already. It doesn't even feel like we've had a proper summer.

I'm glad it's that it's nearer to autumn now than summer. I've had enough of the summer and much prefer fall.
