Sunday Stills challenge this week – Yellow Autumn or Leaves
As you know down here in Aotearoa/New Zealand it is Spring, for those involved with Sunday Stills it is all about Autumn with an emphasis on Yellow.
It just so happens that Autumn is one of my favourite seasons.
Looking out my window viewing the weather, it could be Autumn. As the rain soaks our balcony. Reminding me of not just rainy Autumnal days, but, beautiful sunny days road-tripping and stopping to catch our breath near vineyards in South West France during the years we enjoyed housesitting in Europe.
Let’s take me and you back to those glorious Autumn moments.
When the warmish days and cooler nights would accumulate in changeable weather, in turn, creating an environment bursting with an array of beautiful colours.
While you walk
Pause
To enjoy the view
The colourful vines
The birds
The countryside breeze
The Tranquil Peace.
What is Sunday Stills all about?
In Terri’s words:
Sunday Stills is a photography challenge with a weekly theme (similar to the now-defunct WPC). Each Sunday I post the weekly theme with images of my own interpretation. Any blogger is welcome to participate and interpret the challenge with their photos, poems, stories, music, etc!

Those are some great shots of the vineyards, Suz! In six months you can repeat them in your own country. 🙂 While I do think fall is a beautiful season where the leaves turn, I’d happily sign for a life in the tropics, without seasons again.

Hi Liesbet, sorry for the delay in replying, back now catching up. I would hate to live in the tropics too hot for me. Somewhere in between hot and cold climates would be perfect 🙂

These are gorgeous!! I love that pic with the White House and the purple-pink in the back. I miss leaf season. Where I live now has a stable climate. There’s no dramatic shifting to fall. Of course, the trade-off is worth it for my health. I can no longer tolerate heat very well, so the spring/fall year-round temps are a blessing.

Thanks for commenting and yes I can imagine it would be better for your health having a stable climate. Though is there really any place in the world with stable climate?

Beautiful autumnal photos!
Had visitors with us for a week and we took them for a drive through the national park – the colours were stunning but sadly, we couldn’t stop on the highway as no lay-bys. 😦

Unable to stop and take photos is so annoying. Even worse when you need a break from driving.

Gorgeous! I love autumn too, if it’s dry and crisp as it has been here recently. Rather soggy today though, and I don’t like that. Slippery leaves. The unexpected pink in one of your images is a pleasing detail.

Slippery leaves are the worst. A good reason to look down while walking. The pink are a paddock of flowers next door. I’ve been trying to remember the name of them. No, it’s not happening!

Thanks Jo and you are right it is beautiful season to enjoy. Spring on the other hand this year is a tad unpredictable. Especially for Australians on the East Coast near the bush fires.

It certainly is. The air is full of smoke again & another 3 areas here in SE QLD have just been evacuated. Just awful.

Sorry Wendy for the late reply it looks like I missed a few comments. Laughed at the changing season comment. Spring is so unpredictable as far as weather goes and isn’t a favourite season for me. Though I love the blossoms and new life.

Wow, now I know what to do the next time I shoot our local vineyards, Suzanne. These are stunning, and I’m so glad you had these at the ready to share for Sunday Stills! That first one knocked it out of the park!

I love the sky in that photo of the field and the shack. We went for a walk in the woods last Sunday but the leaves were still green or brown rather than yellow.
We have had lots of rain and no frosts yet so Autumn is a bit late here in England.

Yes, some years are brighter than others. Could be due to the temperature and less rain?
