Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.
Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

Beautiful photographs, Ritva. Interested to know, what are the miseries of summer – biting flies??? 🙂
Mosquitoes, horseflies mostly 😀and gnats
I used to work outdoors on Skye in summer and well remember the plagues of small biting flies – midges – they made life very unpleasant.
yep, they are so annoying and I am slightly allergic to them so the bites are big and itchy
