I don't care how many pumpkin-flavored lattes are being sold at Starbucks this month -- to me the wonderful month of October is all about Fall color .....
... And apples. October is definitely all about the apple harvest! They are plentiful, ripe, and bursting with fresh-picked flavor.
This wheelbarrowful on our favorite back-porch (at our daughter's and son-in-law's) was just waiting for us to help ourselves. We barely made a dent in the bounty -- and the trees (in the collage above) were still full and getting fuller.
The reds and golds of the season are everywhere -- even an ancient and long-abandoned lawn chair echoed the color scheme of the month!
Grateful for the beauty of everyday.

Beautiful autumn photos, Sallie I feel Colorado was cheated out of autumn this year. We have already had our second significant snowstorm! We had an early frost. I'm glad we took a little autumn ride over a few mountain passes when we did, as I would have missed all the beautiful colors.

The autumn colors look fabulous over there - enjoy! In Finland all this colorfullness lies already on the ground.

LOVE the colors in these photos. Just beautiful! I don't care for pumpkin spice anything. I prefer enjoying fall outdoors. Thanks for linking up and have a great weekend.

I agree about the color, it's always an awesome thing to see. You captured a small part of it beautifully, my friend :)

...fall can be a glorious time of year, what with all the colors and flavors! This is apple country and ladders are becoming a thing of the past, small trees are the norm these days. Thanks Sallie for stopping by.

Love your collection of autumn colors. We have nothing like that in my neck of the woods.

Finally some color here but drought dull. That chair back sure is in October style.

I hate pumpkin lattes!

A year ago I was in the US in Connecticut and I really wanted a pumpkin flavoured latte, I never did - bummer have one for me! Enjoy your fall colours.

Lovely colors! Enjoy it while it lasts!
Posted by: Linda Walcroft | October 21, 2019 at 09:41 PM
LOL! I am one of those that don't care for pumpkin lattes as well. The leaves are what makes fall for me.
Posted by: Photo Cache | October 21, 2019 at 09:24 PM
October certainly shows off.
Posted by: Gaelyn | October 21, 2019 at 06:29 PM
I, too, love the colors of the season best of all. I've never had a pumpkin latte or any drink flavored with pumpkin and I probably never will. :) What fun to be able to pick apples and enjoy your families bounty.
Posted by: ellen b. | October 21, 2019 at 02:28 PM
Lovely color. I agree with you----I like fall color and to heck with the pumpkin lattes---LOL
We have picked our apples and made applesauce and pie filling to freeze

Hello,
The fall colors and trees are looking gorgeous there. I love the beautiful red. The apple harvest looks fun, I love the crisp apples.
Lovely photos and mosaic. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!

Wonderful Fall pictures!Hugs!
Posted by: Maristella | October 21, 2019 at 03:16 AM
Sallie - I love orange, so it's no wonder that Autumn is my favorite season - the trees are all dressed up in my color palette! It is amazing to me to think that the color was there all summer, hidden under the green. Perhaps this is a lesson to us all - the beauty that can be revealed even in the "late" season of our lives! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday! P.S. Feel free to ship some of those apples to Montana ...

I do miss seeing colors like this in the fall. Glorious!
Posted by: Carol | October 21, 2019 at 02:28 AM
Gorgeous colours.
Posted by: KB | October 20, 2019 at 10:56 PM
WOW! Love the burst of Fall colors! We don't have Fall here but if we did, I think Fall would be my fave season hands down.
Happy Monday, Sallie!

Oh, how I love the vibrant colours of autumn! So beautiful. And am I one of the few people who has never tried a pumpkin spiced latte? :-)
Posted by: Lady Fi | October 20, 2019 at 08:41 PM
I've never had a pumpkin flavoured latte - I do hope they're nice.
Posted by: Amy Franks | October 20, 2019 at 07:01 PM
Lovely fall colours!

Your autumn leaves were brighter than the ones we found on our road trip. Maybe all the clouds masked their true beauty. I agree with your adult camping comment. We are that way with our boat now too. We use to anchor out and fix simple meals. Now we go for docks near restaurants. Still a lot of fun and much easier to pack. - Margy

Lovely! A Free Pick Me sign may be in order...SO much fruit!! I'd grab up that old chair...it looks like a nice one. Have a good week Sallie. I am looking forward to Pumpkin Pie for sure.
Posted by: Sondra | October 20, 2019 at 07:07 AM
I don't know why but these colored trees make me depressed, they announce winter, I really hate autumn, the smell, the darkness the short days. After Christmas I start to live again. For the moment I try to, lol ! At least I love to do my pouring painting
Posted by: Gattina | October 20, 2019 at 04:57 AM
You have captured some magnificent color!! Nicely done. Enjoy your weekend!!
Posted by: Cathy Keller | October 20, 2019 at 03:30 AM
The brilliant colours are part of why I like autumn best. Looks as if the wheel barrel has seen many autumns and was painted by the redness of the fallen leaves. Haha, I wonder if all those apples mean there is applesauce and pies aplenty in your horizon. :)
Posted by: Penelope Notes | October 20, 2019 at 03:26 AM
A lovely post celebrating the beauty and bounty of the season. The colours of the leaves are wonderful and the apple harvest something to appreciate. Enjoy the fruit and have a good week.
