the first autumn rain followed and we dared to leave
our brown landscape behind to seek solace for our souls.
Still breakfasting together after 51 years at our
first over night stop in Horsham Vic. at the Majestic Motel,
our usual half-way house to Melbourne.
One night's rest at my sister's in Melbourne and
onward to our destination...
passing through Benalla I spotted a Heron and he
had obviously spotted lunch
Our destination, 'Alpine Park' cabins at Porepunka
and lovely autumn leaves littering the ground
While the Prof checked us in, I tore once around the
block madly snapping like a rabid dog
all the lovely remembered sights from last year were
different, but just as beautiful. The leaf turn was a little
later this year.

our stay we had perfect tourist weather!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely,.... and doubly so that you are still enjoying after 51 years! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy area is well renowned for our fall colors. We talks about it as if we are the only ones that get fall colors. How egocentric. Thanks for showing us yours.

ReplyDeleteIt's breathtaking. Love your fall colors. You and hubby look so sweet together. I look forward to more of this journey.
ReplyDeleteOh congratulations on your 51 years with the Prof. More to come. I love the autumn leaves, make me want to skip summer and have autumn right after spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenes,and that 'young' couple is very dashing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth

ReplyDeleteThose red and yellow leaves are amazing. And I really love the first photo close-up of that unusual looking moth - wow!
ReplyDeleteA perfect landscape. A lovely story. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing fall leaves. We don't get much color like that here.
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful sequence of autumn shots. What fun! I love the shot you got of the heron.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you have had some rain. May it continue softly and gently. Lovely fall photos.
ReplyDeleteArija: Thanks for your photo, a face with a name. Love your heron photo, nice to cstch one in action.

ReplyDeleteWhoa! Congratulations to your 51 years of togetherness. Love your foliage.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and that is a lovely shot of both of you together. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is another wonderful post of yours. I enjoyed looking at all those beautiful photos. You two look beautiful and happy and also make a great couple.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I thought seasons come at the same time worldwide even knowing they're not the same. It still amazes me You have Autumn when it's Spring in full blossom here.
ReplyDeleteOh Arija, how beautiful your autumn color is! Autumn is my absolute favorite time of the year, and spring is my fourth favorite. I do realize that I must go through the other seasons in order to get to fall but if I had a zillion dollars I could skip to my favorite fairly easily!
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid week!
Such fantastic photos yet again. Amazing moth and leaves. Thanks for sharing your world with us.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I forget what Autumn looked like here because is Spring with Summer soon to follow... :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, and I'm glad you had good weather after the rain!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fall colors--things are just starting to green up here!
ReplyDeleteArija - I loved seeing the picture of you & your Prof- you're as beautiful as the flowers you photograph! Your compositions are always perfect. I look forward to your posts - even when I'm on vacation...Have a great time on your getaway!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! It is worth the drive to stop and photograph the leaves.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly beautiful as always. I love it that we are in different seasons. Whenever I'm lonely for autumn, I can pop over and visit you!
ReplyDeleteThe photograph of the two of you is beautiful. Isn't a happy marriage the best thing ever??
What beautiful trees! I liked the heron shot too. I'm glad you did run around snapping like a rabid dog (great phrase). China is such an amazing experience, I do hope you will get to visit it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful autumn colour in these leaves.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nasty big moth you have on your hand, it is just waiting to chew holes in all the new foliage next year.
Wow - how gorgeous! Love all your shots of autumn. And must be lovely to get some rain after a long dry period... My sister lives in Perth, which is also very dry.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely fall colors. Wish we have autumn in my part of the world. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colours are amazing and so is the moth photo. I love the light relected in his eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post ... filled with beautiful fall photos as we experience spring ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
What a beautiful place to spend some down time.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful eyes because you see with your heart! I love the poem and you have the perfect images to illustrate them!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your loving comment. I feel the same way about you from the very first time you offered your hand and helped steady my gait when I faltered.
What an unusual moth! The autumn colors are beautiful! How funny it is that we are finally coming into spring as you will enter winter.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to next week's instalment. These photos were awesome, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. Love the colourful nature. :)
ReplyDeleteYou captured some beautiful fall photos. Seems strange to look at the changing colors. Here the leaves are just coming out, fresh and green for a new season. I look forward to next week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip :) What is that moth? It is gorgeous!
