~ snippets as autumn arrives ~

 

 

 

Summer is fading away,  the light is softening, the leaves are starting to change.
We grab jumpers as we leave the house.  
Some tomatoes are finally ripening.  
Autumn arrives.

1.  Lily holding a bunch of summer in her hands

2.  Cobwebby loveliness

3.  The Japanese gardens at the Botanical Gardens yesterday - we wandered the gardens for a few hours yesterday with some friends - its always so very calming and beautiful.  Autumn certainly looks as though its arrived in this pic.

4.  Maples - I could photograph them endlessly.

5.  Windflowers in my garden

6.  The tessellated pavements at Eaglehawk neck - we had a day trip down to Port Arthur today - our first visit in 6 years.  I love being a tourist in our own state.  

7.  The separate prison at Port Arthur where they kept the worst of the prisoners in isolation.  They're painted now, clean, sparse, room to think...I was craving some isolation time as I walked around!

8.  Rainbow carrots - how cool do they look? - the kids don't like them though - do yours?

9.  He makes me laugh every day at how he pulls his socks so tight, so high.  He won't wear the 9-12 size any more because his shoes are a size 13 and so he insists on the 13-3 and they are so big and he hates wrinkles in his socks - and so this.

10.  We made Donna Hay's baked lemon cheesecake.  It was good.  Very good.
