Love your post and the pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post, Anita, filled with the most special words. And your pictures reflect the lovely light that you talk about. The second one looks a bit mysterious and so pretty. Thank you for being the light that radiates on a dreary day.
ReplyDeletelove you so,

Dear Anita, your beautiful words and images warm my heart. Thank you for your friendship and for so generously sharing your light.

Your post reminds me of my flowers that are hanging on outside as the Fall weather plays with the cool and the warmth of the season. They open so bright and wide of a daytime and then close when the day starts to darken, but even then they still have their beautiful yellow and golden color shining brightly on their outside as they don't completely go away with the dark. Love the quote, and yes, how awesome to be the light in the darkness.

Dearest Anita, LOVE this post of beautiful photos and creative writing. It speaks to my heart dear friend. Thank you for sharing yours. Hugs and Joy to you!! xo
ReplyDeleteOn Anita such beautiful photos and what an encouraging post! Just so beautiful.....makes me stand tall!
ReplyDeleteWhat a welcome attitude adjustment this is. The photos, the message (platitude-free, and thank you for that!).
ReplyDeletePhotography is all about capturing the contrast between dark and light...
There is indeed always light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes we need to pass through the tunnel to appreciate the light beyond. I too am a cup half full person, always looking on the bright side. A great message to start November Anita. Xx
ReplyDeleteLovely Anita this is the perfect start to my day...such an uplifting post...beautiful as always x
ReplyDeleteHappy November to you....may it bring you all good things,
Susan x
another thoughtful and emotion-tugging post - I'm exactly the same way - I prefer the light to the dark.
ReplyDeleteI just love your door wreath - so lavish and lush without being glam or glitzy! Beautiful!
... and "Ballroom for Ghosts" is a stunning piece of music to listen to while perusing your usual array of fab photos!
Hope your Hallowe'en was colorful, fun, exuberant, and filled with lots and lots of candy!
Much affection,
Tristan
My breath is taken away every post. The magic you create stays with me!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Oh, Anita, the melodie and the bright side of darkness, how wonderful this is. I LOVE the depth of darknes, could just drown in it to be part of it - and I am not afraid to dance with my demons, as long as they look good ;))
ReplyDeleteHuggies from me, your friend Méa, as always I say thank you so much for this post :))
Ahhhhh just lovely this morning to see this pop up in my email Anita. Love the beauty and beautiful accompanying music.
ReplyDeleteYour magic creative soul shines this morning.
Hugs,
Kris
Anita,
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing photographs. They capture the light and the season perfectly.
Beautiful, as always.
Happy November to you.

Anita I have truly enjoyed all the enchanting home's of MN you have been posting. Many fairy tale like and others artistically appealing with the color combos to highlight its architectural beauty. I have especially enjoyed the white/cream trims on the charcoal/black home's. You dwell in a very beautiful area and Autumn there is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your area through the lens of your camera.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Vera
Ahh...life is light.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita,
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I heard "Ballroom for Ghosts" on your blog. I had to have the sheet music. The music that you choose is so complimentary to your photos and poetry. Such a beautiful trio! I've been playing through "Ballroom..." a lot this fall. It's soothing to my soul. But then so is this beautiful season that doesn't last nearly long enough.
As usual you charm me with your so precious shots, dearest Anita, even the most little detail is a source of fascination to me and every posts of your fills my heart with inner joy !
ReplyDelete... and how about your lovely words making your post so invaluable, sweet friend of mine !
Hope you're having a beautiful day,
I'm thinking of you with love and thankfulness
Xx Dany
Yes, YOU are the one who makes magic: Winter Spring Summer Fall. And, oh my goodness, your photography has taken flight, Anita. It is lovely. So so proud of you for doing what you love. xxs

Chère Anita,
ReplyDeleteQuel beau message, comme d’habitude !
Il y a une étoile brillante dans ton coeur :
que ce soit une lumière pour toi dans les endroits sombres, quand toutes les autres lumières s'éteignent.
https://youtu.be/QxpO_G1aovA
Somewhere there's a blaze
almost imperceptible
but still intense
The story of beauty
singing forever
in the bright light
of the reverberating time
A sacred moment
A magic linger
in which is hiding
the meaning of life
Apart from that
there is nothing
The road to nowhere
The chaos...
Mon cher Troebadoer,
DeleteTes poèmes sont exceptionels et me touchent toujours! Soit en anglais, soit en français, tu choisis un ton parfait qui fait vibrer les cordes de mon coeur.
Good Morning Lovely One,
ReplyDeleteWhat artistic beauty you share with us.I too prefer to live on the bright side of life.
With so much turmoil and darkness in the world it is critical to ones well being to live a life with intention and embrace the glory of the light.
Many Blessings to you!

"Don't be afraid of the dark. Be in awe of the light." Sounds like a photographer to me! These images are stunning, especially the one of the trees and lamppost. I love your work, Anita!
ReplyDeleteThis post has even more significance this morning Anita. I was saddened by your Instagram post but if prayers are wishes, then mine for you will come true. Thank you for visiting me today. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful my dear Anita! Your post does me good, now that the days are getting darker. And we must shine a light and also see the light that is there. Love your words and pictures! Have a warm and cozy start to your november and until soon!, XX, Martina

A timely message for the day after the election. We have to look on the bright side. We live in a great country and we need to come back together and believe that things can be different.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful words and stunning photography. xxoo Elizabeth
Anita! I didn't even know you had posted. You've been on my mind today and I thought I must come see what's happening and here is a new post.
ReplyDeleteVery timely indeed and a message that everyone should hear today. My thoughts are with all my American family and friends and I truly believe you will weather this storm and come out stronger because of it.
Your photos, friend, oh my! You have found the light in so many ways!! Absolutely gorgeous and I have spent many long minutes here admiring them. You're an angel, Anita!
This brought my spirits up. I am still in shock over the election.
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for Hillary, I worked hard for her. I am scared of
the future. Have a great Thanksgiving . It will be sad for me as
my Daughter is moving out of Maine. The year looks bleak.yvonne
Mysterious and oh so enchanting post, filled with beauty and wise words. Truly a gift to visit and see what you are up to. Lovely as ever dear Anita.
