Inspiration Avenue's challenge

Inspiration Avenue had a challenge this past week asking what our favorite month was and to put it into art or photos or a poem, jewelry whatever have you. Mine is October so I chose 2 of my photos that I think best represents that. I chose October because harvest season starts, the air starts to get a little chilly, the leaves on the trees change into the most awesome show of colors, Halloween, pumpkins, we can throw open the windows and let the fresh air in, apple picking, the colors. These are some of my favorite things about October, well fall for that matter. After a long hot summer I welcome the cooler temperatures and snuggling in a throw and the soft scent of a burning candle and the flicker and crackle of a fire pit . What's your favorite month and why?

  4. Gorgeous colors in your photos! I can see why you love October! The only reason I didn't pick a fall month, is that I know what is coming after, and it shadows the whole season. If we could have perpetual autumn, I'd love it!!

  5. Gorgeous image. October is a busy month around here with both my boys having birthdays and our anniversary. I do love October in the States, the changing of the seasons, smell of smoke from chimneys. Around here, things look pretty much the same all year long. :/ Happy day to you. Tammy

  8. I really love October because of the weather, the pumpkins, and turning leaves. I just didn't even give it a thought when I chose my month. Your photos are absolutely stunning.

    BTW, I am intrigued by the words and link you provided in your previous post.

  9. Oh those colours are just so yummy! In the end I went for May as my favourite month (probably because it's currently dismal January and I'm longing for a bit of sunshine!) but I love the autumn too. Your photos are wonderfully warm and autumnal :)
