Thank you ladies,
for photobucket advice . . .
it always was
that when I went to photbucket
the option to upload was right there.
Yesterday though,
it opened directly to my picture album
and I could not get to the page
from which I usually download.
I shall try again,
but first here is a photograph I found on my way here . . .
it came up on my google homepage.
 
Like the pandas
it won't let me copy and paste it,
so here is the link . . .

Jude pretty yellow tree with leaves. We like to find a special leaf and book mark it so it won't crumble and pull it out later to admire the beauty once all the leaves have blown away.
Those berries you have in the other photo are confirming my idea with the tree by the bridge. It still has berries and I am going to pick them off and let them dry and use them for some wreaths and other holiday creations. Awesome! Thanks.
 
Buba, hello I wondered where you were. Good to see you friend. Your photos being so far away make me realize some of us share the same type of fall in other parts of the world, it really is a small world. Thank you.
 
Sandra the last flower, I had planted them in a container and in time some of the flowers had implanted into other parts of the yard from blowing out of the container. I thought this was so neat, scattered around.

Dear Marie,
I have got three of the Sycamore leaves being pressed right now!
All the berries have been phenomenal here this year. The ones in the picture are from a mountain Ash and my Cotoneaster in the garden is plastered with berries. The birds shouldn't go hungry this winter!
 
Love,
Jude

The footpath outside Chloe's old school where I walked twice a day...

 
 
 
The wall of the little plant nursery opposite Chloe's school where I bought flowers and plants every week. The blue fencing is the school fence.

the beautiful photos get more and more, I´ve seen ...
So, one Orchid. today; I can enjoy on this flower about two, three monthes as I know from the past. Than it needs a pause a little bit more than  three monthes. This flower I bought in spring, so I do not know more about it.
 

 
 
but it is a beautiful one, I think.
 
The others I have, they have a rest now, but one get the first little buds, and it needs some weeks,because the most of this buds she had, where 18... I hope it will work as in the past...

Thank you, dear Isabella!

 
I have one like this one, too, and it is just the same as yours! You know what´s funny? One has to soak it in water from time to time, and your post has just reminded me to take mine out of it!


Love,
Juliana

Isabella, your orchid is lovely! Orchid blossoms do stay for a long time. I don't have any orchids but my hairdresser does, and they bloom on and on!
 
 
Jude, your pictures are great. I love the autumn foliage in such an array of colors, and the scenery around them.
 
Buba, fall is settling into your surroundings as well. Beautiful!
 
Edda
 
Peace and joy!

Dear Isabella . . .
I spotted you as an orchid lover
a few pictures ago . . .
bless you.
I don't have enough sunshine for orchids,
but I love their exquisite blossoms . . .
they look like faces

Juliana, fine you remembered
 
Hm, it´s a longer time ago when I was out to walk a little bit mor then fifteen
minutes; so I thought, I want to show Sandra a REAL bear, that she do not suspect my poor Niki (he was blue/grey) to be a bear
 
This are the most lovely bears I like (it´s called: the littla panda-bear) and I do not often see this bears in such way because they are sleeping a big part of the day.  On the day when I take this photo, this bear was very very intersting on the visitors of the zoo...
 
 

 
 
Can you see the different Sandra ???

 Marie ( called LOL) :Your photos being so far away
 make me realize some of us share the same type of fall
 in other parts of the world, it really is a small world. 

Yes dear Marie , here is another proof of it:
The rainy autumn day in my city (TODAY)
 

 

 
 
 
Dear Jude,
your autumn pictures looks similar to mine
As Marie said :It really is a small world. 
   
  
 
Dear Isabella, lovely little bear!

Lovely snaps dear Buba ,it looks flooded  across the pond .I think  you have had way more rain than us! 
 
This leaf looks like it's been dipped in gold..
 
 
 
 
Isabella it looks like your Autumn is just starting for you as I see lots of greenery.I had forgotten that leaves use to be green.I like the look of those buildings that you snapped.
 
 
 
Oh dear Edda
 

Unfortunately your pictures can't be seen even when I click on the red X!
dare I say this but I see no x just snaps?It's really odd because I know Isabella can't see some of the  photos I put on the forum.I guess Marvin will never change but we must live in hope!!

T.O.  I love your analogy of special "food in the freezer."  You are so correct.  Often our bank accounts would never agree with how "wealthy" we feel.
Jude,Your pictures are wonderful.  I love the one of the footpath covered in Autumn leaves.  The one with the house behind the wall with the sumac looks like one what one would expect a typical English countryside neighborhood to look like.  They all just seem to invite one to come and take a long peace filled walk.
Isabella,I am glad I was able to see your orchid before it faded away.  It is truly beautiful as were your other orchids.  What a wonderful gift that the blooms last so long. Your little panda bear looked like he just wanted someone to play with him.  Niki definitely looked like he was related to Isabella II that Little James has.
Buba, I am sorry you are having so much cold wetness.  Our whole month of October was like that.  Now, we have no rain and our temperatures are back up to almost 80 degrees which would be almost 27 C.  Last month everything drowned and got frozen.  This month, we are having Indian Summer.

Thank you all for sharing your snaps.  The video is two months old and already has had over 14,400 views.  (It doesn't show on the forum since I erased the post once when I was moving it).  It is because of all your efforts in sharing your photographs that so many have received a "piece of peace" from our forum familyhood.  May you all be blessed as you have blessed others.

Betty

Yesterday,in the afternoon, after the morning rain
 
- Sun came out....

Day light didn't last for a long....
 
   

Darkness came quickly ...

 
Birds going to sleep....
 

 
Betty:"This month, we are having Indian Summer."
Dearest Betty, we had wonderful time in September and in the part of Octobre,Indian Summer,too.
And now the weather is changing rapidly,one day too cold,one day rain the other day sunshine. 
This morning was foggy but not too cold:

And right now the Sun came out and fog is almost gone...
Wishing you all a gentle day.
