It certainly has and this one is for Tom. He chose our header challenge this week (Dave, Fishing_Guy, Mac, and Gail’s Man) and as you know Dear Reader this is my all time, top of the heap, favorite season!
Burnished loganberry vines.
Head and shoulders above the rest. It sits perched on the rim of the barrel while spring slimes around on the bottom, winter floats on the top and summer swirls aimlessly in the middle of it all.
Even the honeysuckle puts on a bit of autumnal dress.
So this challenge was hard for me, so many photo ops that Dirt and Bet wouldn’t stop for.
Outside my backdoor each morning in autumn
So many photos taken that photoshop is still grinding away and sorting all of them.
Autumn sees the end of the burn ban and time for bonfires.
So many cropped and lighting enhanced finalist that took their turns being header for a moment.
A quintessential autumn sunset.
And perhaps I didn’t choose the most stunning on the basis of color or occasion but it pretty much says it all.
Takin' a ride on a bright blue tide.
Yep, I love the color blast of the season but get me under falling leaves and my brain can’t help but go into paroxysms of joy!
So for you, Dear Reader, and especially Tom, I made sure I caught one yesterday, on an ever so typical fall day, bright, clear, toasty warm autumn day, for certainly fall has arrived! Go see what the others captured this fall! Dave, Fishing_Guy, Mac, and Gail’s Man.
By the way I’m going to briefly let comments through and see if I have broken the spam chain. – never mind, with in minutes I received seven spam. Okay, here, I saw a button that said anyone can register, lets see if you can and the spammers can’t, hope this works. Okay, I get it, this isn’t going to be easy. When you register you will get a password sent to you, ugh, a lot of bother so…. just e-mail me if it gets to be a hassle. I am still going to work on making this all easier but until I get my garlic and spring flowering bulbs planted (see list on side board) then I gotta just go with this, sorry, cuz I love hearin’ from you Dear Reader.
Lanny: Just a wonderful post with so many looks at Fall arriving, nicely done.
guess i got it this time, whew! but the password they gave me is 12 digits long and i’ll never remember it. or find our where i put it. ha ha
the photos are lovely and the fire looks like so many we have sat before on chilly autumn evenings, nice memories.

Gee, what a pass word phew.
Lanny what a wonder of a post for the header, glad you captured a falling leaf to.
All of your photos are wonderful, Lanny. If falling leaves bring you joy, you should come and stand in my front yard. They are about ankle deep out there right now. 😀
Lovely blue sky mixed with the falling leaf great shot. As for the colours in your quintessential autumn sunset gorgeous.
Hi Lanny, I made it through..now my name may take you through to my wordpress site which is my local blog versus blogger..the same blog..just different hosts. I finally registered and then went in and changed my password. I get lots odf spam at wordpress too..but the host has an automatic spam filter that takes care of them..some of those dudes are pretty scary. A pox on them!
Your headers are beautiful..I love your falling leaf that is falling into fall! You idea with the rain barrel is pretty cool..I am not so sure if I agree but it is your barrel! Spring slimes around the bottom..after a long winter spring is my hero!
Those Loganberries sure turn a pretty color!
So many different pictures on a theme. Good spotting.
