really autumnal selection of words this month. Here are my selection.
Cosy.
My first thought for cosy was warm, glowing fires and as we don't have an open fire I remembered how our son and his wife's dogs, Jess and Roxy, took the warmest spot in front of the fire when we all went on holiday to Northumberland.
......................but then as I was searching for the photographs I came across this picture. I had not even thought of this but when I saw it I thought.....yes...a cosy....a tea cosy.
Changing Foliage
We went for a lovely walk along the River Wharf where it flows through the grounds of Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire. The colours were amazing. I had so many pictures to choose from but this one with the stark whiteness of the tree trunks against the autumnal colours caught my eye.
We were lucky there was a sculpture exhibition all along the walk and I just adored these birds on the rock.
Scarf
Oh which one to choose. I have many. My favourite light weight ones hang on shower curtain hooks on a coat hanger and I have a drawer full of warm ones. When the weather turns cold I have two favourite ones, both warm and cuddly, one from each of our families for Christmas over the last two years.
Cobweb
Frost on a cobweb on a leylandii hedge.
My Own Choice
There is something special about receiving a unexpected present, especially when it is so beautifully hand made. This one was gifted to me by Susan Smith another blogger and faithful follower of Kate's blog. It is beautiful. Thank you Susan.
Now to go and see who else has posted this month.
Lovely set of photos & my first thought was like yours, a warm cosy fire, then I too found a photo of tea cosies......., if I do the hunt. Your spider web is unreal & the walk along the Wharfe brings back thoughts of our walk there just recently (boo hoo). THANK YOU!!! Take care & huggles.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan for your comments. Please go back to my blog and read the comments that are below yours. So many people are loving your quilt as I do. Xx
DeleteLovely photos - that cobweb looks amazing with the frost - thank goodness it is not that cold yet! It won't be long before the dogs can snooze in front of their own woodburner :) thank you for joining xx
ReplyDeleteJess had taken over prime position in front of the fire. Glad you love my cobweb. Xx
DeleteYour foliage photo is just gorgeous Jak and the sculptures in the forest are great ... that'd be a lovely surprise to come across those. The dogs certainly look cosy and that beautiful quilt will be perfect for the cooler evenings - what a lovely gift :)
ReplyDeleteYes the sculptures were an unexpected surprise on that lovely walk. The quilt is in the perfect position to be just pulled down over my knees as it gets colder.
DeleteThe quilt is a lovely gift, joint favourites for me this time of the two adorable dogs and the first shot at Bolton Abbey - those rich autumn colours are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Bolton Abbey is a wonderful place to be whatever the season. Bluebells give off their quiet fragrance in spring.
DeleteSuch a wonderful set of pictures. How lovely to receive such a beautiful and unexpected gift through the post. I don't think I have ever seen a frozen cobweb, the is a great photo. Your foliage is stunning and I love that you use shower curtain hooks to store your scarves, a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my shower hooks on a coat hanger for my scarves. Those orange clips are clothes pegs to stop the scarves from sliding to one side.
DeleteNice photos! I was beginning to think you were not going to join in but after my day out I found you were there! Love the bird sculptures and the autumn foliage. Nice quilt too! I should have thought of tea cosy but....
ReplyDeleteMy tardiness was due to the fact I could not get on line here in Alloa due to my being an idiot!but finally managed it. X
DeleteWell I have to say cosy is a fave.My Labrador would do exactly the same. The tea cosy is lovely too and how lovely, a sculpture trail at Bolton Abbey .x
ReplyDeleteThank you. That sculpture trail was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. So you are a labrador fan too. We don't have a dog now so enjoy Jess and Roxy and Kate's Moss.
DeleteSuch beautiful photos, I love the very cosy pups! The web looks amazing with frost on it, I don't think I've ever seen one for real. Your gifted quilt is beautiful, such pretty colours.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That quilt was a wonderful surprise and is so beautifully made.
DeleteSome stunning photographs, love the dogs looking all cosy in front of the fire.
ReplyDeleteThank you.As I write this the dogs are lying in front of their fire.
