Brilliant autumn

 
One sunny afternoon recently, walking around town to take some photos for work... Aren't these colours just brilliant?

Blue & red

Sunday walk

Autumn bonanza

A tinge of Halloween

There are no real Halloween festivities here (which I actually really don't miss at all as it was never a tradition when I was growing up in Switzerland) but after seeing this pumpkin ages ago, I just had to make one too.
And can you see what's in the cup in the fifth photo? Candy corn! The ultimate Halloween candy, which arrived all the way from Arizona yesterday. I'm so excited! Thank you so, so, so much Anne - it really made my day!

Sunday walk

Wore my new gumboots and found four puddles to jump in!

Gumboots

I just couldn't resist a pair of these colourful gumboots for autumn... lucky there weren't' that many choices in my size anymore, otherwise I think I would never have managed to settle for one single pair - they are all so delicious! (I went for celadon).

Wow, how amazing is this list of colour names!?

Photos from here.

Zeeland: Middelburg and Veere

You can usually tell how beautiful I find a place by the amount of photos on my camera at the end of the day... Zeeland last Sunday was no exception to the rule; I could not keep myself from taking photos all the time. Everything was resplendent in the warm autumn light and we didn't see a speck of cloud the whole day - what a treat!

The photos hereunder are of Middelburg (Zeeland's capital), where we climbed the Lange Jan tower, and of Veere, an absolutely delightful little town by the water.

More photos of the rest of the day to come later on!

Candy corn

The candles from the other day are (almost) over. Don't they look adorable? The remind me of candy corn...
Ah, candy corn... I wish I lived in the States right now so that I could run down the street, buy a packet and eat some (or actually... lots) of this delicious candy!

All through my childhood, each year around October, we received a package from our good friends in the US. It always contained a BIG packet of candy corn. And it was an absolute treat for the whole family - we loved them!

Mmmh... yummy memories!

Autumn is coming

The wind makes golden leaves dance off the trees by my window, it's almost chilly enough to wear gloves when cycling in the early morning and i feel like lighting candles as soon as I get home... autumn is on its way!
