Update and A Celebration of Seasons in Photos

I'm short on time and in a mood for photos, but first a quick update. Yesterday's breakfast with my long-ago friend actually went pretty well. We'll try to get together again next month sometime, but I certainly won't return to the weekly routine that we had been on for more than 15 years. Nope - not happening! But, I'll see her a few times a year. Now for some pictures.

I was looking for something to indicate the passage of time, and found a lot
of these trees as seen through four seasons montages. I thought
that might be something really fun to share today. 

I asked for "Seasons of the Year" and found these images. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I really liked the composition of this quartet. The person
seated in the upper photographs also adds a nice touch. The
moon and stars over Winter make it just that touch colder. 

I really enjoyed this one. The subtle changes from spring through winter
are really nicely realized. 

I really love this. It's called "Tree of the Four
Seasons" and is painted by artist Josephine Wall.

I've sold greeting cards with her artwork in my shop over
the years. She does some beautiful color work. 

Finally, I really enjoyed this more fanciful version of seasonal trees. It is
a Deviant Art piece, but I couldn't read the artist's name so I'm unable to give credit
 or a link. I love the way the sky moves over the entire piece, pulling it into
 cohesion, and the undulating ground also contributes to
this uniformity. It's cheerful and a bit whimsical. 

So there you have it. A celebration of seasons for all of you as autumn moves into the foliage with speed. Fall is almost here and winter is not far behind. The Autumnal Equinox is Tuesday - time's a fleein' quickly. Have a fabulous Friday!
