Solitary on an Algarve bench
Or even on an Algarve beach
Have you seen any lovely leaves lately? This is an Autumn challenge I discovered just last week. Rather nice, isn’t it? Just click on the link to start those leaves falling. I was out kicking the English leaves about today. Just as beautiful! Join me next week and see.
No changing leaves here yet, Jo. I’m waiting, and hoping! Enjoy your Sunday!

Do they change in China, Cathy? In the Algarve the plane trees do but many of the others don’t. It will be a washing/cooking/ironing day as James is home on a ‘quick turnaround’. Maybe a stroll later, and then finish my Monday walk. Have fun! 🙂

I know the leaves change in the north of China, Jo, where they do have four distinct seasons, but I really don’t know about down here in the south. I hope you got all your washing/cooking/ironing done! And had some fun with James too. 🙂

I have been so behind on my blog reading Jo. Hope you are doing well. It is getting really cold here but the leaves are spectacular. So that is always nice. Good to hear from you!

There are some beautiful read ivy leaves along the road from us – the colour is stunning. Unfortunately they are not in a place where it would be possible to park, or even park elsewhere and walk to as there are no pavements, and it’s a busy road. I just admire them every time I drive past.

I have a Virginia Creeper up the side of my house and I love its rosiness, Elaine. It was a bit windy here today but it’s clinging on. 🙂

Maybe that is what the one I see is, and it has escaped from someone’s garden and is cascading down the fence by the road. Lucky they can cling on well!

Thanks, Sherri 🙂 I’m still in shock from watching Klizan beat Rafa! Deserved, too. Played the most dynamic 3rd set I’ve seen in a while. Ah well- that leaves my Saturday free. Have a good weekend. 🙂

I missed it Jo…but if it was deserved then I can only imagine how well Klizan played. Darn it though…oh well, as you say, now you can do other fun things this weekend I hope! Have a great one (and thank you again so much for your really lovely message over on Jill’s blog, it really moved me…)

I know exactly what you mean! 🙂 My solution is to escape to the Algarve but it’s usually only for a short time and Christmas is at home with Dad.

OOH! Something new..
My 10 year old brought me a pretty maple leaf yesterday, which I’m flattening in my Kindle case. Apple-picking tomorrow should produce some images to share! =D

It’s a nice idea, isn’t it? This challenge started last year and I’d forgotten all about it. And it’s quick and easy 🙂
