The days get shorter and morning is dawning colder. As I prepare this post I’m watching the squirrels outside the window scamper around gathering their stock of food and reinforcing their nests with a sense of urgency for the winter that’s on its way. In these waning days of autumn I give you this mosaic of some of the images I captured this week and a quote for the latest edition of Mosaic Monday brought 
to you by Mary of Little Red House.
“I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. It’s golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.” – Lin Yutang

Beautiful mosiac. I especially love the shot at the bottom left of what looks like the side of an old shed? And then the trees in the background, beautiful!

You used the same format for your mosaic as I did. I love it and I love the quote, it’s so true. So very true.

Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words. I have lots of patience for these little things. I love the anticipated of the finished look. Love the colors in your mosaic, beautiful and I love nature too. I have small birds and parrots that come to my apple tree when they are in season and all other kinds of birds that make their nests in our trees. Enjoy your day and all the best for your family these times.
