I Haven’t been out of the house so my seasonal photos are from my previous drive.
Feeling much better 🙂 Once again, I now remember how it feels to have the flu, I have to say, I have not missed this feeling. I have had so many cups of tea and cough drops in the past week.
I took my husband to the doctor and during his visit I took some autumn color shots from the city. The flu season has started after being almost nonexistent during Covid, my husband had it and now I am sick first time in three years. I had forgotten how it feels. Not nice.
Well anyway, I am giving you an overload of fall photos, bear with me, soon it will be dark and gloomy.
I think the topic says it all. Well, I could mention the obvious, surrounded by beautiful fall colors That’s all folks!
I have had luck with sunny Sundays, two in a row. I went for a drive searching to find Ruska ( one word in finish language to describe the process of nature turning to the beautiful colors of autumn)
Here few more photos from that day.
I found some lovely spots. I will share some now and some other posts as usual I have lots of shots and I like to share 🙂 Hope you like them.
This colorful time passes so quickly as the leaves fall and sooner than we want to be, we are already surviving November. I have several years been doing that here on my blog with fellow bloggers.

Time flies and older you get, the quicker it goes in my growing experience. Just now it was September and well month has passed. The days are getting shorter, darkness is slowly beginning to unfold around us ( is that correct way to say it? ) Well anyways, these are the colors of early October at my backyard.
We have had rather gray and rainy September, the forecast was predicting that to this weekend also so we decided to stay at home. But no, rather we had a nice weather, Sunday particularly was lovely.
These are my sunny Sunday shots.
Sunny day clouds or dark clouds in the sky this sight makes me want stop and take a photo.
The color of calmness and clarity. Turquoise stabilizes emotions and increases empathy and compassion. It emits a cool calming peace, gives us a boost of positive mental energy that improves concentration and clarifies our mind, and creates a balance that clears the path to spiritual growth.
“A turquoise given by a loving hand carries with it happiness and good fortune.”
Comprised of green, blue, and yellow tones, turquoise is a striking combination of these color wheel beauties. Never one to boast, turquoise is radiant without knowing it. With its humility and shifting charm, there’s much to love about this greenish-blue shade..
Aqua is closer to green than blue. It is refreshing, uplifting, creative and cheerful, while at the same time being strong and independent.
Aquamarine strengthens creativity and inspiration. It soothes and balances the mind and the emotions.
Blue-green (or teal) is an advanced turquoise shade that symbolizes credibility and reliability. It is known to promote engagement and spiritual development.
Foggy skies greeted us first thing in the morning, I took my time before I went outside to take some photos. I had my furry little friend following me. These I took with my mobile, and little bit later I took the camera for a walk.
The color of trust and loyalty. Blue has a calming and relaxing effect on our psyche, that gives us peace and makes us feel confident and secure. It dislikes confrontation and too much attention, but it is an honest, reliable and responsible color and you can always count on its support.
“How sweet to be a cloud. Floating in the blue!” – A. A. Milne
Blue inspires us to live in the present and bid farewell to our stress. By creating an air of serenity, it does just that. On a particularly challenging day, consider looking up at the sky. You’ll find an oasis of calm gazing up at the clouds.
“Everyone can enjoy the blue sky. The world is fair.” – Jukô Nishimura
Where calmness is present, so too is the color blue. In addition to its peacefulness, blue also offers direction and empathy. Though these attributes are promising, blue is also fragile and somewhat cowardly. These varying qualities make blue the perfectly balanced shade that so many love, trust, and adore.
PINK! The color of love and compassion. Pink is kind and comforting, full of sympathy and compassion, and makes us feel accepted. Its friendly, playful spirit calms and nurtures us, bringing joy and warmth into our lives. Pink is also a feminine and intuitive color that is bursting with pure romance.

In addition to boosting morale, pink also offers signs of good fortune. If you see the color pink often, it could mean that success and good health await you.
RED! The color of passion and energy. Red draws attention like no other color and radiates a strong and powerful energy that motivates us to take action. It is also linked to sexuality and stimulates deep and intimate passion. Red is ubiquitously used to warn and signal caution and danger.
“Red is the archetypal color, the first color humans mastered, fabricated, reproduced, and broke down into different shades, first in painting and later in dyeing. This has given it primacy over all other colors through the millennia.” – Michel Pastoureau
A striking, bold, and captivating hue, red is perhaps the most dominant of colors. Often seen while navigating the roads, red lets us know when caution is warranted. Though seeing the color red may give us pause, it also provides tremendous warmth. When this scarlet shade rears its cherry head, we can’t help but feel protected.

ORANGE! The color of enthusiasm and emotion. Orange exudes warmth and joy and is considered a fun color that provides emotional strength. It is optimistic and uplifting, adds spontaneity and positivity to life and it encourages social communication and creativity. It is a youthful and energetic color.
“Orange is the color of the sun. It is vital and a good color generally, indicating thoughtfulness and consideration of others.” – Edgar Cayce

It makes learning easier as it affects the logical part of the brain, stimulating mentality and perception. It inspires thought and curiosity and boosts enthusiasm and confidence.
“It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression.” – Johann Wolfgang Goethe
In the world of safe hues, like black, red and white, yellow shouts: “Look at me. I’m happy!”
Green! Where do you look to find the meaning of green? Is it in the pale yellow-green of newly sprouted blade of grass? Can it be found in the dazzling sparkle of an emerald? Or does green’s meaning reside in the aromatic depth of a drizzly pine forest? Green inspires and vitalizes us in all its hues.
Green is calming, stress-relieving, and–a bit paradoxically–invigorating.
The color meaning of green is vitality, freshness, growth, wealth, balance, health, & youthfulness.
Green is everywhere. It’s the most common color in the natural world, and it’s second only to blue as the most common favorite color
I am taking the easy way out from dilemma, going with color theme, mostly. Most likely the photos will be of flowers, but I might surprise you and myself, who knows what colorful things I will find to photograph.
“Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.” – Vincent Van Gogh
“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” – Oscar Wilde
Color is, on the evidence of language alone, very bound up with the feelings.
Gates are not so common nowadays, so it was something noticed. A white gate with an inviting path.
Weather, something I notice everyday and at this moment listened to, and it appealed to me. Listen, listen to the falling rain…
Very mundane, still so pleasing. This song often comes to mind when listening to rain.
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain
You know I love you more
Let it rain all night long
Let my love for you grow strong,
As long as we’re together
Who cares about the weather?
Listen to the falling rain
Listen to it pour
And with every drop of rain,
I can hear you call,
Call my name right out loud,
I can hear above the clouds
And I’m here among the puddles
You and I together huddle.
Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it rain.

I will be posting random posts with a title Something I noticed. It can be a flower, a landscape, person, still life, you name it. Hope you enjoy my ranbom shots, life is pieced together from random experiences, so my next month is filled with small bits of joy or pleasurable sights.
I already posted one post about Mustion Linna , Mustio Manor, last time a falsely named it Mustio castle 🙂 The old trees in the garden are so lovely.
I had two weeks of holiday rather unexpectedly, but I did enjoy them truly and am now back to my normal routine. I will be posting random posts with a title Something I noticed. it can be flower, a landscape, person, still life you name it. I am making it easy on myself not having to come up with a title.

Apples are fresh and ripe or not.. I think it is so nice to see my grandson get fresh apples from the tree, like the one in the first photo. The collage photos are from an apple orchard we visited on a cloudy day the single on shots from an apple tree in front of our house.
I annually visit Mustio castle, a stunning historical landmark that captures my imagination every time I step onto its grounds. I love the beautiful park that surrounds the castle, where vibrant flowers bloom in a riot of colors throughout the seasons and the air is filled with the sweet scent of nature’s bounty. The serene dock, bordered by enchanting water lilies, offers a peaceful escape where I often find myself lost in thought or simply enjoying the sounds of nature. I have yet to unload my camera disk, which holds precious memories captured during my visits; these stunning images were all taken with my mobile, allowing me to share the beauty of Mustio castle and its surroundings with friends and family who have yet to experience this magical place.
We had a fence here before and if you have been following my posts for some time you have seen several shots showing it.
We had to take it down as the foundation was not the best and it started to lean towards and backwards. We did not have anything there for couple summers, but now it is there again with a slightly different twist in the design that I came up with as we were building it. Well, mainly my husband, I won’t be able to take credit for that 😁
Watching others work. It is that time of the year when hay is being gathered from the fields, this summer earlier than usual
I was not expecting to have a summer holiday this year, but suddenly I found out that I could have two weeks. So hip hurray, I am on vacation 😊
