Your posted comments delight us. thanks, ^_^
Don't run over those pumpkins! I love the group of them and can imagine them rolling but can't make out what has daisies on it in the middle of the shot.
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing ~ It is a rock that is painted ~ thanks for asking ~ ^_^
DeleteI know all about aging eyes!
ReplyDeleteLovely skies and a beautiful sketch!
ReplyDeleteWow,so many pumpkins. Love the fifth. Don't crush those pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty scenes from your part of the world - and two lovely journal pages. Very pleased to hear Hurricane Matthew didn't trouble you too much. My cousin in Florida had to leave her home.
ReplyDeleteAll those pumpkins! Shame only about 5% of those sold get to be eaten in the coming weeks. All that lovely soup wasted.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love those "little brave pumpkins" :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos from apple orchard - orange sea of pumpkins and sweet donkey!
beautiful moments captured thru your eyes carol! Love the autumn inspired etegami art. Sweet Zoe:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fall in your area. Nothing like a stack of pumpkins to usher in the fall weathers. Love your sketches and haiku. Have a great week.

I love the cute little girl and her donkey.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkins have just appeared on the shelves here, I wonder if your brave little pumpkins are making a break for it. Like the blue painted rock and the pumpkins gathering around it.
ReplyDeleteZoe is always wonderful, but really your whole post is *best*, Carol. I love your etagami and haiku and the paintings that go along with them. I'm glad the storm only brought rain to you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Carol.....lovely autumnal colours in your paintings!
ReplyDeleteAnd sweet Zoe snoozing with eye half open - or shut!
Have a wonderful week,
Ruby
Super shots and goings on at Cape Ann this week! The pumpkins are en masse and I like the old truck too!
ReplyDeleteThe donkey seems to be a sweet critter who likes his own space!
Enjoy your weekend!
Hello!:) So much to see, and colourful images to admire starting with your cute paintings, and the Pumpkins. Love the donkey shots and Zoe's Photo.:)
ReplyDeleteFantastic picture of Zoe. I love the little girl approaching the donkey, also.
ReplyDeleteYou had asked about the pumpkins in my header photo. I think they are called bumpy or wart-y pumpkins!!!
Ms Zoe is the prettiest and the lovely one, for sure!! :) *-* The autumn sky is fantastic and, as well, those huge pumpkins for decorations, I think. Best regards in october and a very good weekend, too!
ReplyDeleteadorable donkeys! love the birdhouses, too.
ReplyDeletePumpkins and apples - it's definitely fall! I love the 99+ pumpkins!
ReplyDelete99 pumpkins - did YOU count them, or did the dog?
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
I'm delighted to share the breathless beauty of pumpkins with you! Such simple things, and yet so profound! Happy Haiku My Heart!

Delightful series, especially the donkey and little girl.
ReplyDeletePumpkins must be brave especially this time of year.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it was all wonderful, yes...the best was last! Awwwww.......
ReplyDeleteLovely piece for PPF, beautiful colours and textures.
ReplyDeleteLittle Zoe looks so cozy! I loved the pumpkins in your photos, and I wanted to sit on the daisy rock in the middle of all of them! The little etagami houses are a delight, I want to visit them too! And yes, nature does take my breath away and those are indeed brave pumpkins! XO

ReplyDeleteOh Carol, what creative photos! I especially love the Red Pickup truck and pumpkins in front, but the donkey pictures are probably a tie! Really though I love them all! Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteLove those birdhouse paintings, and the donkeys are too cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch a bountiful pumpkin harvest! Cute donkey and sweet little Zoe!
