In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.

Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

i have met so many talented people on Flickr this last year it has been a great growing experience. i made it a point to become contacts with photographers of varying styles and i especially love the work of my European contacts. some people  not only have creativity running through their veins but in their families too. my Flickr friend maggie  has a very talented brother and we love his cd around our house, his songs were used on Grey's anatomy several times last spring.relax and listen to this great song by andrew belle
