Goodbye Autumn!

It seems that autumn has bypassed us here this year.

If I hadn’t been to a magical Italian lake the first week of October, I wouldn’t have been able to shoot any coloured foliage. Now with 0 degrees Celsius almost freezing the ground outside, I have to say goodbye to autumn before even saying hello to it.

Here are some photos I took in Italy, a few glimpses of autumn that I miss. And here is the tune “Forever Autumn”

  9. Beautiful Paula!! I had the strangest experience this past Sunday…where I live in Borgomanero it was definitely autumn with all the beautiful coloured trees, but we went to the mountains for lunch where it snowed and it was the perfect winter-setting. And after that back into autumn again. Very funny but so strange!

        1. Just 4 days…. I was supposed to go to Andalusia, but the travel agency changed the programme, cancelled the charter flight and 6 day trip turned into a three day travelling from Zagreb to Paris to Madrid and to Sevilla, and I said: “no thank you”, so in my despair to have any type of trip – I programmed myself to flee Zagreb my worst month of the year (which is November) I started thinking … where to, where to, and I remembered that all roads lead to Rome, so…… 😉
