Autumn Colours


Remember what I said about capturing all of the spectacular fall leaves with my camera?  Well, the leaves have been pretty amazing these past few weeks but the photos just didn't happen.  I've admired autumn from the inside of my car, framing beautiful shots in my minds eye while driving back and forth to school, work, hockey, and the grocery store.  Yesterday I noticed that a lot of the fiery reds and brilliant yellows are making way for shades of gold and bronze.  The show is almost over, so I give you autumn as shot from my mobile phone.






We celebrated Thanksgiving around work and hockey schedules.  Despite the rush, it was an enjoyable long weekend.  We had a traditional turkey dinner and there were plenty of desserts, compliments of my Mom. 


Fall Chrysanthemums, Pumpkin Spice Lattes (thanks to my future daughter-in-law), and dogs in sweaters.


Gingerbread Biscotti.  I'll be sharing this recipe soon.

  1. Beautiful fall photos. The biscotti look wonderful too. Pumpkin and bacon seem like they would make a good combo; sounds wonderful. Catherine

  9. The fall photos made me gasp. I live in a dry, very brown area, where our main trees are oaks. While they do turn yellowish, we do not enjoy anything like what you shared here. The colors are simply stunning! I just love fall. The colors, the warmth, the food, the friends. There is something magical about this time of year.

    As for these bacon pumpkin bars... My 5 sons will love you forever!

    The pumpkin bacon bars look out of this world.

  16. Mobile shots of autumn can be fantastic - yours are proof of it! Hmmm, those pumpkin bacon bars... if hubby ate bacon, I really would have to try those. They sound oh so weird with cinnamon? And sugar and bacon fat? Hmmm, I'll have to see...

  22. We just don't get a lot of fall color around here. So I appreciate your pictures! I've had pumpkin and bacon together in a savory dish (pasta), but not in a dessert. Cool idea! Thanks for linking with See Ya in the Gumbo this week.
