AUTUMN

A chill invades the fresh, warm breeze.

 

The earth cools, and the light laughter of leaf-laden trees becomes a bare and bitter snarl.

 

Cold wind, cold rain, cold bones, we know them all.

 

The year has grown weary come the fall,

and winter marches ever nearer.

PhotoPop said at 9:43 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Excellent montage, Mike. The animals shots are spectacular, caught in mid-motion. The faucet and the trowel compositions are subtle and subdued. My compliments.
Swedfinn said at 9:49 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
My compliments,too
Wildthing said at 9:50 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Thank you, JOHN. A rather dull, quiet set, that suits the weather at the moment.
Lageho said at 9:51 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Nice autumn in your country too, Mike. Great. Have a nice weekend.
Wildthing said at 10:00 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Tack, LARS. You have a good weekend, too.
Wildthing said at 10:01 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Thank you, JORMA. I appreciate your comment.
Erich said at 10:10 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Hey Mike, Autumn at your place too? Great tabblo. Every time of the year has its special beauty.
DocEna said at 10:10 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Mike in contrast with our spring: color, light...birds and insects...Autumn-fall: pastel colors, less lght, wind..a bit o melancholy...loved your set of leaves and seem like the animals and birds are preparing for winter that comes right after... the othe object are nice also. tks Mike.
PhotoPop said at 10:16 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Mike, i would NOT call this dull, it is the quite that is descending on the land that you captured that I enjoy.
Wildthing said at 10:28 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Thank you, ENALDO. The failing light of a British Autumn pales against your Magnum PI shirt:)

JOHN. I meant that the change of light and the fading blooms created a dull picture compared to the brightness of summer. Full autumn is obviously more colorful, with the reds, golds and yellows of the leaves. I'm looking forward to capturing them. Although they will not compare with an autumn in New England.
Wildthing said at 10:31 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
You are right, RAINER, every season is a visual feast to enjoy.
Ericf said at 10:55 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Wow...you've taken some great shots Mike, thanks!
Mirella said at 11:01 a.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
So romantic ! Is it autumn's atmosphere ? The hare and the bird feeding the other are fantastic. The lonely white feather would be perfect for an Alpino's hat (it's white: for an officer). Ciao, Mike.

A full autum has a fiery blaze of awesome colors.Your photos are pleasing to one's eyes.
Eduardo.affonso said at 12:11 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Beautiful shots, all of them, being impossible for me to pick one, two or even 10 favorites. This my own private TOD. One of your best tabs ever.
Rod38 said at 12:15 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Awe... Awesome. Mike this would be a TOD. Congratulations in advance.
Pkeener said at 12:21 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
I love this, Mike. the way you sequeced your photos in a nice flow of colors, rust, alive and dead, in #15 #16 and #17. bittersweet, and watming all rolled into one tabblo. i love the boy and his tractor, too.
Autumn is my favorite time of year
Chilla said at 12:37 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Mike, this is a very beautiful Tabblo. There is a peace and serenity about it somehow! Beautiful colours and choice for the layout too.
Hollyridger said at 12:45 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
I really like your style and unusual POV's. I, too, think this is definitely worthy of a TOD! My favourite shots are the closeup curling, tired leaves quickly followed by the birds arguing then the hare and on and on......! Super!!
Welshchick said at 1:12 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Animation~emotions~textures and details...and though a little sad...charming poetry~brilliant work Mike - last shot is my FAVE-Those English hares are too cool!!!
Tishfish said at 1:32 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Yes summer is gone for another year. So sad to see it go. Cool shots Mike ! ! !
RosaneMar said at 1:38 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
I like autumn. Beautiful pictures Mike!!!
Merja-zerga said at 2:01 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Superbe, des couleurs sublimes, des mots parfaits,
Tout est dans ce tabblo présent pour accueillir l'automne à grands bras ouverts.
Merci et bravo Mike pour ce plaisir des yeux.

Wildthing said at 2:35 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
I am a little overwhelmed to read such kind, positive comments. I think I'll do ANOTHER Autumn set :0)

Thank you: ERIC, MIRELLA, SANDY, EDUARDO, ROD, PAM, CELIA, NOREEN, RHONDA, DOREEN, ROSANE, THIERRY et KARINE.
Moabjeeper said at 4:02 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
It looks as though there has been a frost. I like the red berries constrasting with the green leaves.
Nice sepia with the old tractor. Is that you?
Wildthing said at 5:09 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Hi, BOB. I only took the tractor pic a couple of days ago. Thought it looked better in sepia. Glad the effect makes it look old.
EMA said at 5:55 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
I love the Fall. Love the colours, the sounds, the smells. You have it all here! Great work!!!
Leftofcenter said at 6:07 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
gorgeous pics, Fox. Fall is a photographer's dream (nevermind New York, before the cabin fever blues- we have "indian summer" up here, ya-ain't-seen-nuttin-yet) my favorites are the rusted scoop and the berries. the hare is weird, how did u cath with his two paws (do they call them paws) in the air??? :))
Loes said at 6:28 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Beautiful autumn colours Mike, thanks for this wonderful tabblo, a favourite!
YonderCreature said at 7:30 p.m. on Sep 25, 2009:
Wonderful capturing the evanescent atmosphere of decay, chill, and the quieter parts of the cycle of life. Thanks for making such a positive autumn celebration in your images!
DanMan said at 12:25 a.m. on Sep 26, 2009:
Excellent picture of Mountain Ash tree! I miss them here, we do not have this tree in the States... As usual, wonderful birds shots! Great captures, Mike!
Wildthing said at 5:42 a.m. on Sep 26, 2009:
Thank you for your kind comments, EDITE, SCULLY, LOUISE, YC and DAN.

SCULLY: The hare didn't call his paws anything. He was very uncommunicative. As for catching him with his back 'thingies' in the air: I think he was startled by me. As you know, hares are scared of foxes:)
Chaitiamma said at 10:37 a.m. on Sep 26, 2009:
A Fav. !!!
AdSR said at 10:57 a.m. on Sep 26, 2009:
The bird of prey shot in the middle is great!
Debdog said at 1:28 p.m. on Sep 26, 2009:

Sad beauty. Remarkable photos!
Wildthing said at 3:26 p.m. on Sep 26, 2009:
Thank you, DAVID, ARTUR, DEB and IRA.

DEB, Those birds of prey are Red Kites. Beautiful birds with a 6ft wingspan. We get 4 of them near the cottage some days.

Thank you, NEUSINHA.
Lifequest22 said at 12:38 p.m. on Sep 29, 2009:
Mike--your tab is pure, gorgeous autumn full of earth tones and great textures. The water spout, rusty trowell and weathered wood. And of course those excellent bird shots. A fav for me.
Siagian said at 1:30 p.m. on Sep 29, 2009:
WOW! nice work here Mike! this is inspired.
Wildthing said at 2:14 p.m. on Sep 29, 2009:
Thank you, LINDA. I'm liking the change from summer to autumn, and just want to keep taking pics.

WOODY: I feel inspired. The onset of autumn has done it.
Candlepower said at 2:15 p.m. on Sep 29, 2009:
Wonderful! As you show Fall has its own Charms. Great Tabblo!
Wildthing said at 2:17 p.m. on Sep 29, 2009:
Thank you, PAT. As the landscape turns to yellow, brown, red and gold, I feel the need to in some little way capture it.
MichelleMc said at 3:12 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Gorgeous! Love the last photo and the two birds meeting at the food dish (plant tray bottom)! Really captures the season!
Wildthing said at 3:37 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Thank you, MICHELLE. That is a plant tray bottom. Perfect for seed or peanuts:)
ConnieL said at 6:36 p.m. on Oct 1, 2009:
Nice shots, Mike. Even though I've learned to enjoy the beauty of fall, the winter to follow doesn't thrill me.

Great one.thanks for sharing this to us.

STOCKEXPLOSIONS, your comment is lessened by the fact that you are trying to sell your product on this site. Most inappropriate.
Wildthing said at 3:56 a.m. on Oct 2, 2009:
The winters can be beautiful, CONNIE. But I agree, the bitter weather is not to my liking. I much prefer sunshine and blue skies.
Krisu said at 5:01 a.m. on Oct 11, 2009:
Autumn isn't so bad after all ;)
Wildthing said at 5:30 a.m. on Oct 11, 2009:
Autumn colours are so beautiful, KRIS. Thanks for your comment.
