au revoir, octobre . . . bonjour, novembre

 
the syrupy, golden lighting that comes swirling down from the sky and dapples my hair and the auburn leaves.   the crisp winds that blow.  the smiles that are exchanged. the whisper's of the wind.  the cry of the night owl. the stacks of crisp, new school books.  the short days and early mornings.  the warm woolly scarves.  the beautiful serenity.

fall is fleeting.  the trees' leaves will be no more.  colder winds will howl, and snow will join it's symphony.

bonjour 
- - - - - 
snow
more coats
and mittens
barren trees
bleek days
warm fires
a 15th bday





what are you looking forward to this cold November? 
as the French would say, Que cherchez-vous avec impatience cette froide Novembre?

    I'm looking forward to cozy reads, hot chocolate and conquering my fear of shorter days--letting winter work its wonder in me.

  6. I'm looking forwards to thick blankets, long books, and a cuddly cat. :) A cup of tea alongside isn't a bad idea either. :)BTW, your music is lovely!

  10. nice pictures!

    Hmm the translation is more like:
    "Qu'attendez-vous avec impatience pour ce froid novembre?"
    French is my first language!! ;)

  11. Same with me Jennoelle! I can carry a conversation in French, but I still need help! I want to become fluent in French!

    Acacia, beautiful pictures, and beautiful post!

  15. lovely post!
    non, je ne suis pas impatient de le froid! mais oui, j'adore l'atomne couleurs!
    though, that is european french, not canadian french.
    I'm studying french and I love it so much! but I can't wait to be fluent in it. I want to go to a little french village for three months to learn it quicker:-) ah! you live in the UK!
    it's so nice to find another UK-blogger...

  17. @ Cubette: J'utilise Google translate parce que mon français n'est pas très bon! : - / Je ne suis pas impatient de le froid aus

  18. @Jennoelle : ... I cheated! I only know a bit of French... (working through a French Grammar course this year), so google translate helped me a bit. :) HOWEVER, my parents are fluent in French and I just know that someday I'll be fluent in it, too -- and I'm sure I'll go to France... well, I hope!

  19. @ ashlyn. no. you're sweet. too sweet, as a matter of fact.
    when i took that first picture, i gasped at the amount of bokeh i had captured. i never intended getting such a lovely picture! thanks for you sweetness! since i only use a wee little point and shoot, i think of every good picture as a blessing from God. :)

  21. Hello Acacia!

    Well, we are starting a blog design business, except our site is up yet (we're slowly getting all the kinks done). But I suppose if you want to be our guinea pig we'd be more than happy! You can contact Marieanne on her blog, or you can e-mail me at joyfullgirl@charter.net.

    Your blog is beautiful! And I love, love, love your photography...someday when I figure out my brother's Canon Rebel...nevermind. ;D

    Thank you for following!

    Blessings,

    { Bethany }
