  6. These are really wonderful, DK. The silhouettes are almost black but you can still make out a hint of some features, and the background is a gorgeous “good morning” colour. These photos would make a beautiful framed set of photos for the house.

  7. “Out in the night there’s autumn-smelling”
    My soul is Happy with Autumn smelling.

    Hauntingly beautiful photos

  12. I like the George Elliot words that Sawsan 🙂 has shared! ““Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it,…” we were married in the Autumn – in October!!! We are looking forward to the cooler temps and beauty of Autumn…we’ve had a heat wave pretty much ALL Summer…btw your beautiful photos captured Life & Grace along the waters edge…

  13. Yes, married on Oct. 30th and my birthday is on the 30th of a summer month and his birthday is on the 30th of one of the other months of the year! and we surpassed the 30th wedding anniversary, 40th this October…Wonder if this trifecta of a number means anything…kinda out there, oh well…
