I caught a small bit of Autumnal change in the air yesterday. In between games at a softball tournament, we took to the side roads for a scenic drive. We were not disappointed with this view. Just the barest touch of fall color taking hold and yet another barn full of tobacco.

Linking up today with Tom.....
The changing colors come often as a surprise - first noticing the sharpness in the air - then the leaves .... and fall is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteLovely sun light and the greens :)
Happy Sunday to you, Michelle,
Nina
We only have a hint of color, slow this year. Thanks for sharing your "B" barn! I hope that you can return again. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeletelove your part of the country and would love to see it in person some day.
ReplyDeleteI love the mellow feel of Autumn...that quote is so right. I love the richness of the colors, set against smoky greys and nut browns. I love everything about this time, and it is always hard for me to be away from all that delight and fall color, the sights and smells. I may get us up to see some leaves turning...maybe. We are still recuperating from the cruise! Great photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's like a living tapestry - so nice to watch the colors deepen from day to day. A pretty scene!
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful to live in a place where the seasons change! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteJust starting to turn here also. I hope i find the mellow time this fall.
ReplyDeleteJoh so pretty the wee bit of Autumn,Blessings Francine
ReplyDeleteWe have started to get cool nights so frost isn't too far off, not much color in trees yet other than one non native tree of some kind. The chestnuts are falling and there is a big acorn fall this year so the deer have disappeared to the forests to eat.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful image, from the top to the bottom!! It will be gorgeous in a few weeks time!!
ReplyDeletePretty colors, Michelle!

What a lovely scene, very like a Constable painting.
ReplyDeleteThose side roads reveal all kinds of wonder. Great photo along with the quote. Fall is in the air.
ReplyDeletebeautiful corner you passed, I wonder will those trees and bushes all turn to bright Autumn colours...our Fall has definitely begun to settle in here too...
ReplyDeleteAutumn is the epitome of mellow Michelle, lovely view here.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised. Saw glimpses of starting color in the mountains of TN and AK on our trip. I didn't know what to expect.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scene!
ReplyDeletePretty when the colours start changing! I love the quote!
ReplyDelete(Btw, there was no traffic on the bridge when we crossed it! :-))
We have had only a little change here so far. Love your pic.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing more beautiful colors in my area, too and I'm enjoying every second of it. The words in the quote are so true because this tine of year, I'm usually feeling very mellow. Have a lovely rest of the day... :)

ReplyDeleteIsn't it magical to see the changing of the colors? Too dry her...only Brown!

ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until today that I noticed a few leaves fallen from my trees with the faintest hint of color...down south it takes a bit before Autumn truly arrives...I am always so amazed when it gets here.
