Description
While you folks up north are celebrating spring, we down south are in the heart of fall. [or autumn like we say here in South Africa] I took this image two days ago coming up the street where I live. [My house is literally just around the bend at the top of the pic on the left hand side!] Although our fall colors are not as spectacular as the Canadian fall colors, we still think it's special.
Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Carin xx

Very beautiful colors and light. Excellent shot. I love the autumn colors, but I'm glad that we have spring here now.
Yes that's cool when we are knee deep in Snow its your Summer.. Lovely autumnal hues..
We had spring last Thursday, summer was Saturday gone, and I think Autumn is just around the corner. I think the worlds weather has gone bonkers this year. We say Autumn as well Carin, here in the UK, I always thought fall was more logical because its the time of year that leaves fall from the trees. The English are not logical though, thats why it's one of the hardest languages to learn. They have that many words that sound the same but are spelled different and loads of words that are spelled the same but mean different. I wound the bandage round the wound. is just one example. I digress. I love your Autumn colours just as much as Canada's, but who's driving the car? Excellent capture, but there's nothing for me to recognise when I come to visit, I may get lost. Bravo!!!!!
beautiful light and colors. I wud love to visit south africa
Autumn: a glorious golden season ... and what a lovely place to live. Wish I was there! An Autumn poem for you CLINGING ON Clinging on despite the slow seep of poison in the tissues the Technicolor toxic flush Clinging on beyond the thickening silt in the pores the cloying in the veins The debt's repaid for the slow surge of sap to swell and burst the bud, unfold entire from rib to very edge. Ah, yes, repaid: for the year's full bounty stirs, re-forms, returns the self-same path to feed, to ventilate, to plump and grow. Clinging on while cell by cell the palisades are built Clinging on when windy stresses test the joint Clinging on for autumn leaves never fall: they're pushed. Hugs Mike xx
Oh Mike - how strikingly beautiful! Thank you so much for this lovely poem - a stunning work of art with words. Hugs, Carin xx
Great shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The colours are soooo familiar! Stunning shot. Our farm in the eastern cape has got the same beautiful autumn trees. Although cold, autumn has its own beauty... hey?
Fabulous shot! My fav time of the year is autumn:-) We have a small town in the mountains in Washington state that has a German Oktoberfest every year, the sights are some of the most beautiful at that time of year!
A great autumn shot from SA, always so confusing that the seasons are opposite to what we have in the Northern part of the world!! Excellent, I like it!!! Have a very nice evening, Henk
Beautiful shot, how nice to see your part of the world here!
Amazing colors! Great photo... :-)
gorgeous colors, excellent capture Carin !!
Looks like a magical time of the year there Carin, it's my fave time of the year here in the UK, I cannot wait to get the awful summer out of the way :)...I suffer with heat exhaustion :)
wonder shot.. color is fantastic
What a wonderful scene, brilliant light and pretty colors!!
Fantastic color and light.Wonderful scene and capture.
Wonderful everything in this shot of the lovely avenue with its entourage of bountiful foliage all in a row. Incidentally, at the moment, I'd gladly trade your fall/autumn for my Spring, with its triple digit fahrenheit heat in late April!
This is beautiful .. it seems strange to see fall when spring is here in Canada lol
Nice picture of a nice neighborhood during a nice time of the year Carin. I see you have been using your new camera lol, Sig...
Nice capture! It looks like a beautiful and peaceful area!
We are at the beginning of spring here in the UK, so it is really wonderful to see your lovely autumnal scene, autumn being one of my favourite seasons. Thank you, hugs Jane xx
Golden in the long light, blended with the greens...such a soothing shot. I can see why you love your autumn colors.
The differences in climate and seasons are sometimes hard to take in when you have never travelled to the southern hemisphere, we were only talking about this this evening because friends of ours are back from a 10 week stay in New Zealand and they were saying it was getting cooler down there now Autumn was arriving. I go on don't I?, your shot is very beautiful Carin.
I love the spring and the fall months...You captured the fall setting just great...
Fantastic colours!
