@Seraphine — That’s how I feel! I actually don’t mind the cold and snow too much till Xmas. It’s part of the season, really. But Januray is tough, February is often brutally cold and March is the worse, as we are still deep in snow while the rest of the world has some kind of Spring. Plus, I was born on Spring Day and blizzard that day feels depressing.

@Soleil — I hope so too… I’m not in the shoveling mode yet!

@Max Coutinho — I really had no idea it was still so warm over there. I can’t even imagine it… I already look like a snowwomen in my big winter coat!

Lucky sunshine girl

@Lizz — Thank you! I barely got any pumpkin shot this year, somehow I didn’t realize it was Halloween till the end of the month.

@expatraveler — Thank you!

Definitely some beautiful shots! Fall looks so beautiful. I just wished I had more time to get out and enjoy it all! Oh well, next year!

I love that shy/grinning pumpkin face. Makes me want to pinch its cheeks, lol. And that dollar pumpkin shot? Stunning. .-= Lizz´s last blog ..Holy Crap, An Ebay For Free Stuff?? =-.

Hi Zhu !

Aaah, Autumn is arriving to Portugal only now: even though until the end of this week we will still have 24ºC temperatures.
But I can smell the Autumn already: chestnuts, hot chocolate, hot tea, apple pie, and then the Portuguese traditional sweets and cakes Mmmm.…oh my God!

About Canada and snow: I still remember it! But since I was a kid (and had no idea of the work snow involved) I had fun and loved it when it snowed!

I loved the pictures: you should be a professional photographer!

Cheers

Yep, I know the feeling! Time to break out the snow boots and the shovel and hope we don't get too much snow this year. Great pictures, as usual. .-= Soleil´s last blog ..Pediatric Hospital - Free Stuff! And some good news! =-.

i used to live in snow country. i plugged my car in. for some magical reason, it always snowed on christmas eve. january was always too cold. february was my favorite part of winter, because we got a fair amount of sunshine and that was the best skiing. the snow melted by april; i hated all the dirt left by the snowplows, and the dirty slush.
i don’t miss it.
ok, i miss it a tiny bit.

@Agnes — Fall is becoming my favorite season. It’s nice in Canada, not so in France because of all the rain.

@Angele — It definitely worth it to be in Canada for the winter. Just not every single year for a lifetime

@Beth — I bet it was! I must admit I don’t do much in the winter, since I don’t ski. I’d skate though.

@Sharon — Oh, are you in Ottawa? Ice skating on the Canal (and eating a beaver tail after that!) is a great winter activity. But I’m still a summer person

@Khengsiong — In Canada, it’s a bit earlier… but hopefully Fall will linger a bit longer.

@kyh — Halloween corn, a special one I guess!

@Tulsa Gentleman — I feel the same!

I liked the way you posted your pictures, you did a great job documenting Route 66.

@Kirsten — Thank you! Not having winter would be weird… yet I feel we get more than our share of it over there!

@barbara –I hated Fall in France. Damp, cold, windy, especially in Brittany. I’m glad to know you are feeling more positive — life is too short to worry too much! People change, things change, and hopefully all turn good.

@Nigel Babu — Er… nope!

@Linguist-in-Waiting — Same here, they fell really fast, within a day here. Quite a drastic change of scenery. On the bright side, the tree doesn’t block the view to back up from the driveway anymore

@Seb — Aahhh… hot baths… I heard Chicago was crazy cold during winters.

@Abi — Oh, lucky you! It’s hard for me to imagine right now.

Indeed I can’t never understand the feeling coming from a place that is hot and humid whole year round, still in my opinion with the four seasons with mood changing it ‘slow’ ones down and appreciate the season change

Yo..nice beautiful photos Zhu

I'm having just the opposite kind of winter this time - as I'm in Seville. Instead of orange pumpkins everywhere and crisp, cold nights we've got orange - well, oranges and it's still 30 degrees. Quite a change from growing up in cold and wet England... .-= Abi´s last blog ..Oranges in Seville =-.
