A Beautiful World - September

So happy I found this Blog called 'A Beautiful World'. Sharing around a special theme. This week's prompt is 'September', and the link is here.

 

For me, September rings in the beautiful hazy Indian Summer days, in France. The climate is ideal, not too hot, but lovely blue skies, sunny days and a breeze. It seems as if Nature changes all of a sudden and the long days become shorter. The sun is slowly moving to the South West and is a beautiful sight as we watch it go under every evening behind the Mountains, from our back garden. We have installed a special rocking chair for two and enjoy a cup of coffee together in the outdoors. Lots of swallows are flying  in and out of the vineyards, and make such a wonderful noise together. The season has also started for the grapes to be harvested, and soon the leaves will change color and offer us a magnificent landscape of yellow, red and orange leaves. It is also my birthday this month.

So to show pictures that relate to the above I will begin with the sunset in our back garden.



The grapes looks like this now and will be ready to harvest this month


Finally a picture that says it all about the colors of Nature I am going to enjoy at the end of September, October and even begin November - this beautiful bunch of roses that I got for my birthday (last year) that represent all the Indian Summer colors I can look forward too!




And, if we get to share about the theme October, I will show you how beautiful the vineyards look in that month!

Have a lovely week - I will be in Spain for three days, having a little break with DH. Looking forward to it.
Jacqueline

  6. What a very serene photo and I can picture you and your husband in that double rocker :) As I have grown older and feel as though I am living in the "September" of my life, I am enjoying living in a different way - a little slower and calmer and lots of appreciation for what I have and those I love. Thanks ever so much for sharing your September :)
