It is icy here and due to become icier yet. I am not a fan of the cold, but I can appreciate how changes in atmosphere extend our vision.
Wishing you a day of crystalline beauty!

Hoping your day is filled with light and love! Leslie
This month, in the blocks around my Northfield home, all is sheer drama. From the golden and scarlet foliage, accented with brilliant green grass, to the frolic of quirky and sedate seasonal decor. Here, one can peek through the autumnal gold to see past the white-painted ribs of the porch balustrade to urns mounded up with plumb pumpkins.
Elsewhere? Well, beware! A residence might have transformed into a pirate ship, or a mighty chicken might leap into your line of sight, or you might need to dodge a giant sticky web, or a garden might suddenly sprout a crop of mock-gravestones…
On the hinge of the seasons, before the clocks roll back, I wish you all the treats you can hold!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
LESLIE

Hoping your enjoy these ten images, and that your autumn is filled with every delightful pop-up surprise!
