days dim, and leaves let reluctantly go, but little says "autumn" to me as clearly as the unmistakable conclusion of sidewalk-café season.
i'll be meeting an old friend - er, acquaintance - saturday evening for dinner and my gloved fingers will be firmly crossed for a table at the back of the restaurant, as far away from the fall draughts and the chill as possible.
~the top shot really grabs my eye; subtle light that is not over dramatic, and the curves from the subject matter really please the eye~
ReplyDeleteThe strange thing is, when I saw the pictures.... the first thing that came up in my head was "System." --- Seems so programmed ;)
ReplyDeleteFree terraces. That is my two cents worth.
ReplyDeletelove the first pic. the squares, curves, lines. :-)
ReplyDelete"Summer is over, I can count the cars..." -- from "Footprints," a Squeeze song.
ReplyDeleteLynn, these two shots are great. I love the folds in the first one, and the second one reminds me of withdrawal into the fetal position...
And to think, it was only a couple weeks ago you wrote about the glories of autumn. These are so wistful. How wonderful life is in all its facets.
The both pics make me feel many....
ReplyDeleteI have never realized that papers make me feel autumn, romantic and sentimental.
so pretty...... :)
ReplyDeletei'm glad i discovered your site
An interesting distinction, lynn, between friend and acquaintance. I wonder how we would variously quantify it. And yet, when we introduce someone, we invariably say "... and this is my friend ... ".
ReplyDeleteI really love the first shot, but the brown tones in each one really gives the sense of a fading season. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletethe first shot says so much.
