Winter begins
Although today is officially the first day of winter and there is a chill in the air, it is beautiful and sunny. So I have decided to post the ‘last of autumn’ images I have recently taken before the starkness of winter takes over.
Early morning at the cottage was delightful with a weak sun rising,
and the dew lay heavy on the roses.
Daisies are blossoming
and the fallen leaves are lying thick on the ground.
I often think of life passing in seasons and as my sister-in-law turns 50 today … HAPPY BIRTHDAY … is our generation now approaching our ‘autumn’ years? My niece is also celebrating – today is her 18th – maybe ‘summer’ is beginning for her. Last weekend we were at a lovely family gathering as an aunt and uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and a number of relatives enjoying the ‘winter’ years were present. Of course we have little Belle to remind us of ‘spring’ and the promise of new life.
How blessed we are to experience the changing seasons.

Kathy, gorgeous photography as always.
It is lovely to be reminded of the blessings of the changing seasons and their colours.
I like your photos and thoughts. I'm in England and it's really cold today, with a bitter wind. But the snow drops are blossoming in the garden and the days are getting longer now- it will soon be spring again!
