What gorgeous photos! I love fall and am soaking up every bit of it as we enjoy our first home assignment before leaving for Uganda (where they only have two seasons). My favorite thing about fall is the colors and scents. Everything is so rich and glorious! Thanks for sharing your photos!
I LOVE Fall, but the "best" I can do is put up decorations in my house - living in a rain forest country can have it's seasonal "failings". No Fall colors here, just a change from hot and dry to hot and rainy :-) Thanks for sharing a taste around the world :-)
Fall here means the beginning of the corn harvest - so there are fresh elotes (field corn on the cob), sometimes ongos (mushrooms) grow on the corn plants and they are edible. We also see the large orange squash (pumpkin) flowers for sale (to be eaten, of course)!
The pictures were all great- i love the canned goods, the planting of spring, the harvest of the fall. And the wattle - it reminds me of japanese floral art (before i even saw the inscription, imagin). But I voted for pecan tree- a lot of my history includes pecans or pecan trees... and here folks are passing by selling small bags of whole pecans. You see, we are in mexcio too!
I am on home assignment right now in the US so was looking forward to the changing colors and watching the corn and soy bean harvest. However, we got a surprise snow this week and now fall is all mixed up.
I love the feeling of the weather cooling off and all of the colors of fall. This year I am enjoying the fruits of my sister's labor in her garden with fresh veggies and homemade tomato sauce. I am also getting to enjoy the rituals of American football games and homecoming parades.
Thank you to the rice harvest picture submitter, makes me long for Japan and nashi and persimmon!
I vote for Lisa B.'s spring photo! What a fun challenge!
Seeing photo #1 brought me back to the few years I lived in Central Asia... I love that! I could just imagine the scene, the sounds, the smells... the Cyrillic sign. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
We just moved to Hong Kong, and I am indeed missing my most favorite season of all, and all the things that go with it like cozy sweaters, turkey meals, pumpkin pie, the amazing display of leaves turning color. So reading this has made me think of what I can do to embrace fall here in my new home.
I so so so miss the changing of the seasons! I LOVED this challenge as it made me look for the fall colors I've been longing for and I was delighted to found them nestled in among the endless green of Costa Rica.
Super cute pics!! Great job, girls!
