to Me today is one of those

.



It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.  ~P.D. James


there is a chill in the air-






 

an underlying damp






 


yet it's comforting - a day like today








Fall

  2. Oh how I envy you! That first chill in the air. That crispness at either end of the day which eventually meets in the middle. Have a wonderful Autumn, PGT. May there be more days of it reality than in retrospect (though I know what she means - in retrospect it all looks very much like your second picture, though in reality there are sometimes sodden leaves where they oughtn't to be).

  3. Rex Whistler's cherubs tended to look like Harpo Marx.
