Fall around here is just beautiful. I love the colors and the crisp bite in the air and even the more common warm days and cool nights. If only fall could last forever. Of course, I say that about every season, well, except winter. I don’t mind winter for a while but I am usually glad to see spring arrive as soon as possible!
Here are some of things that are going on around here this fall. In honor of some of the beautiful pink colors in the landscape, we are joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday!
Pink Saturday
Even here, well into November, I still have some wonderful pink zinnias blooming.

The colors of the crepe myrtles behind them are also lovely.

How about the beautiful colors in these leaves against a spectacularly blue November sky?

It is hard to describe all of the colors in this sunset.

And the moonrise with the sun still kissing the treetops is breathtaking!

What a wonderful world we live in.

Pretty pictures!
Happy Pink Saturday! Gorgeous Fall pics. I love Fall too. Thanks for sharing.
Your blooms are beautiful, like the last bounty before bedtime. Zinnas have always been a flower I have loved. They come in so many colors and are very long lasting. You can see that the season of change is affecting them, but it’s wonderful you have the beauty of them while they last, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
Welcome to Pink Saturday. I love your photographs of your November sky. I can’t believe that you still have zinnias alive in your garden. Thank you for the recipe too.
Happy Pink Saturday,

Happy Pink Saturday, and Welcome to a very warm and friendly and pink community!
Zinnias are my favorite summer, er, fall flower. Mine have been gone for months. So this was quite a treat! Have a great weekend.

Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Christi. You have a lovely blog, and I have really enjoyed visiting this morning. It looks as if we have very similar taste in books.
Your photos are lovely. You zinnias reminded me of my mother. She always used to plant them when I was a child.
