“At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell,
the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the
smell of the sea,
bitter where it
borders on taste, and more
honeysweet where you feel it touching the
first sounds.
Containing depth within itself, darkness,
something of the grave almost.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters on Cézanne

Lovely.
I have been so impressed by the sheer variety of your garden's bounty this year! And now, I'll celebrate the approach of autumn with you as well!
LOVELY images, Marilyn... and words! Autumn holds so much of its own special glory... it's happiness to see if unfold and experience it. :o) ((HUGS))
Beautiful photos, Marilyn. What a wonderful place to visit. And I love that quote!
