Sunday Stroll - Last Sunday of October

 Let's take one last October stroll.

The road side is lined with crisp, ripe apples,


and bird berries,


and wild grapes.




My strolling buddy keeps a bit ahead of me!


Where ever you are, whatever the weather, 
I wish you a long, lovely walk
through these last days of October.



These photos were an experiment with my new phone.  They do not have quite the definition of those taken with my camera, but you can still get a feel for the beauty of this autumn afternoon
in these northern hills.

YOU are invited


Walking is the great adventure, the first meditation, 
a practice of heartiness and soul primary to humankind. 
Walking is the exact balance between spirit and humility. 

-Gary Snyder



If you have time this week for a Sunday Stroll, please post about about it on your blog and then come back here with a comment and a link to your post. You may use the Sunday Stroll button at the top of this post on your post or side bar if you would like. I will add participant names to this post so other strollers can walk through your garden too. I'll check back often and try to keep the list updated.


Always the first to stroll, Steve has his post up already.  From the first photo to the last, this post celebrates the beauty of Autumn Out on the Prairie.

Sunday Stroll -


Time seems to stand still at the lakeshore,



and yet, the evidence of time's passing is all around us.














Where ever you are, whatever the weather,
 I wish you joy.


Sunday Stroll Invitation


"Delicious autumn! 
My very soul is wedded to it, 
and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
 seeking the successive autumns." 
~ George Eliot


There aren't nearly as many Sunday Strollers as there used to be... 
at least on this quiet little blog! 

But, a stroll in autumn?  Who can resist?

Sunday Stroll - October Sings


of trees and sky,


of amber light that rises.






October sings 

of next year's trees




and last year's corn,


of things forgotten,



and things reborn.



Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you all the beauty of October's Song.

Steve was strolling through the October prairies. Look Out on the Prarie for his wonderful photographs.



Sunday Stroll Invitation


October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen.
 It is the distant hills once more in sight, 
and the enduring constellations above them once again. 
~Hal Borland (1900–1978)

Sunday Stroll - Looking High and Low


Went strolling with my oldest daughter this afternoon.
We found beauty in the skies above us,
and on the ground beneath our feet.












Where ever you are, whatever the weather, 
I wish you beautiful surroundings and good company.


Steve is strolling Out on the Prairie.  It is a Bison Bonanza, you don't want to miss!
