Borrowed Beauty

This will be the first for me using pictures that are not my own. I collected these from facebook. Once it is posted on there it pretty much belongs to anyone. Most of these were posted by one site - Oh So ShAbBy and I did ask if I could use the pictures. Debbie and Sherry who maintain the site are very sweet ladies and I believe it was Sherry that answered, you can use any picture you want. I am just amazed at what they find to share. Not just fall but a variety of subjects and I will say they are the best selections I ever see on facebook. I am sorry I have no idea where any of these are taken.

Just look at the color here and the play of the sun.

Love the polka dot pumpkin.

Layers of elements and beauty.

How about these colors!!

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

"I craved to go beyond the garden gate, to follow the road that passed it by, and to set out for the unknown."

"Two sounds of autumn are unmistakeable, the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves...and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

There is a beautiful spirit breathing now, it's mellow richness on the clustered trees. And, from a beaker full of richest dyes, pouring new glory on the autumn woods, and dipping in warm light the pillared clouds.   ~  Longfellow
