Fabulous Fall, Autumn Abounds, Say G'Day Saturday,
I love the sofa fabric, Poppy! All your pictures and quotes gave me a wonderful feeling of fall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and quotes!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Such pretty photos combined with such wonderful poetic words!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Poppy, your photos are always good. Don't you just love finding a great quote? so many that make me say ahhhh. Happy weekend to you my dear.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend lovely, Poppy. I love the changing seasons. In Southern California, the changes are subtle, and generally mild, but wonderful just the same. We are experiencing a bit of wind, the type to make the leaves dance and spin. xxooo e
ReplyDeleteAnd now I get to see autumn in Crete. Thank you. I want to go through the gate and see what is on the other side. Perhaps some day I will.
ReplyDeleteOh hooray! Prince Richard is back on the blog!! He has the most perfect autumnal coat. I enjoyed these quotes and gorgeous photos of your home. It is so beautiful there!
ReplyDeleteThere were some lovely and memorable quotes there - I have always loved the quote from Camus. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour home is like a flowering garden Poppy! So cheerful and colorful but also cosy and warm! You combined so well your beautiful photos with these great quotes.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and happy autumn week end!
Beautiful photos and quotes!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Poppy. Although, I think you are a good 8 hours or so ahead of us! There is so much beauty in our environment, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteLoved your pics.

Such inspiring quotes! I think I am Thoreau reincarnated.
ReplyDeleteLovely images and quotes! The mosaic which includes your pretty kitty is my fave!
ReplyDeleteAutumn does seem to be soul sister to poetry, especially at Poppy View! Although, like Woolf, the older I am I do treasure Spring more than I used to. The Crimson Curtain quote is lovely! And oh, how I wished to look like Sarah Addison Allen's lady in Garden Spells! I must investigate that book, Poppy, as you've made me curious about this character.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the early Autumn light so beautifully, both inside Poppy View and outside, and made my heart beat faster with anticipation of what the rest of the wonderful month of October will be like at Poppy View.
Until then,
Dewena
Love the quotes.
ReplyDeleteI have an autumn quote on my mantel and had fun looking at all my choices.
Hello Poppy
ReplyDeleteYour images are fabulous. I am tending to side with Virginia Woolf when she says she favours Spring over Autumn. To a joyful weekend

Poppy, I think that was the best "welcome to fall" post I've read! The photos and the quotes make perfect poetic pairs! It's just starting to look a little like fall around here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and quotes!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Poppy
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous post - beautiful images tied together so well with a perfect quote!

I think my favorite here is the shot of the fiery clouds...just lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn shots and quotes. I do love that black gate with the view beyond. Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteHello Poppy. Lovely views and photos you have today. That one shot of the cloud is spectacular. I bet if I were to paint exactly that, people would say I made it up. Looks like you're having a lovely warm autumn. We've had a sunny weekend but now it's back to the rain again; although, having said that, the sun just peeked out. :) Hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Poppy! Here is another quote:
ReplyDeleteMy trees are not in flower,
I have no bower,
And gusty creaks my tower,
And lonesome, very lonesome, is my strand.
'Autumn' by Christina Rossetti
Poppy, you live in the most amazing place! love the photos and quotes!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is a glorious time!
ReplyDeleteAs always, beautiful photos that go so perfectly with the written word. I love that first quote - I may put that on a chalkboard!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!
Autumn is supposed to be arriving here too, but we're having an Indian summer and I can't quite believe it's October.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful post with great quotes and photos. Thank you Poppy x
The photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
Hi Poppy! Pretty fall pictures today. I see you have some mum plants there. Are they easy to find? Do you celebrate Thanksgiving there? Just wondering. :) Have a good week. Pamela
ReplyDeletePoppy, your images are simply beautiful and I love all the quotes! We are having splendid weather right now. Other than the odd cooler day, we've had a good run of Indian Summer. I was wondering just as Pamela asked, since you grew up in Toronto, Canada, do you celebrate Thanksgiving like we do? Thank you for sharing your lovely post at my HOME.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
