Yellow colors are falling on us like snowflakes. Are we in an autumn snowglobe that some giant is shaking?
I see leaves that match my scarf… They color the pavement and it looks much better in yellow than grey.
Some of the leaves look so lemony I want to dive in, roll around, take a bite. Better not.
Bittersweet reminders of the next season to come.

Your words were delightful
Here!
“Better not” was the fun part!
And let’s enjoy the yellow while we can

Thank you so much!!
Hahah, today I saw a dog jumping into a pile of yellow leaves and rolling around like there was no tomorrow!! I swear he was smiling from ear to ear! He definitely ignored the ”Better not” part!!!! 😂😂

Oh how fun you were able to see the dog do that (woof) and I was just outside (trying to get a half hour of sun ) and saw one yellowish leaf fall – and thought of your post!

Autumn is a colourful season, warm and pleasant! But Winter will come, soon or later, white and silent 😊

So true, Sid! White – or black, if it’s snowless and just dark – and silent.
Lets enjoy the present! 😊 Ciao, ciao!

Ohhh yes, let’s bite! So pretty. I’ve been taking photos of the autumn colours around my parents’ home all day too. First time in five years that I’m back in October. Excellent colour palette.

Today I took 332 more. 😀 I went on a lovely walk around town with my sister, including plenty of yummies and a hike on a hill and amazing outdoor gallery and the colours, ohhhh!

I’ve really been enjoying the colors here too! Aren’t you happy you had to go to the DENTIST (of all things!)?! 😂 Maybe next autumn you’ll go back home again for a little visit, it doesn’t have to be 5 years again!

I can understand your concern. But the bench and leaves photo is very good. Nice combination of colours.
Bon wee-end Lumi.

Thanks! The colors this year are amazing. Winter this year will have big shoes to fill, after our lovely summer and colorful autumn!

I just wondered whether Finnish has only one word for Lumi, or several? (I understand the Inuit have 16 or 32 words for snow…)

There are several words, and also several words for frost. To be honest, I still to this day don’t know them all! As you know, I don’t like winter: I rarely write poetic texts in Finnish about it (never, really). Just last week I asked hubby what a word I heard meant. It was a form of frost. A new word for me.
But “lumi” is the basic word for snow, the most usual one.

I understand you perfectly. As a “child” of the South I do not deal well with cold or its manifestations. And I like the word/name “Lumi”, because it leads to “Lumière”…
Bonne semaine “Lumi”.

Another blogger (who isn’t Finnish) was just saying her friends named a baby Lumi because of lumière and snow 🙂 Funny coincidence.
Bonne semaine! Thanks for the chat!

Probably it’s a bit more bittersweet for you, having those loooong winters and super short days…. I’m just enjoying the beginning of the season so much!! Probably because I’m still over excited with Swiss winters and the snow, hehehe (this will be my second Swiss winter!)
The only time I’ve been in Helsinki was in October… I remember a beautiful sunny day, not so cold and a looot of golden leaves everywhere! Will we see in your blog more photos from Autumn in Helsinki? Pleaaase!! 🙂

Happy to hear you are loving your Swiss life with its different seasons! 😊 Autumn’s bittersweet for me, that’s for sure! I do think this time of year has a special armosphere to it, as well as the beautiful colors! I’ll try to take more photos! I wish my camera was working, my iPhone photos are always a bit flat and uninspiring!

We are just beginning to get the changes in colors. I’m hoping we get some nice yellows. Sometimes they turn straight to brown, depending on the wetness leading up to it. Your yellows look gorgeous.

Thanks! Over here, it’s all over, trees are bare and brown leaves are rotting in the ground. It lasted for about 2 weeks! Pretty, but short-lived. 🍁🍂🍃 Enjoy yours while you can!

I was in Helsinki last week and I went there specifically to make autumn photos! 😍 I really like the city. It’s so walkable and has a certain charm. Also I like that it’s next to the sea. I have a bit of thing for port cities since I grew up in one. My only regret is that I didn’t stay an extra day. But that’s alright, I guess I’ve found myself a big excuse to visit Helsinki again – and the next time I go I’ll see more of Finland too (hopefully). Have a good weekend! 😊

Thanks for commenting and I’m glad you enjoyed your visit(s)! I’m looking forward to seeing your photos! Autumn was especially pretty this year (now it’s already gone)… I wish I could’ve taken more photos and with a proper camera but this time around I’ll just have to capture it in my mind 🙂 Enjoy your evening!
