Autumn colours

 

This photo above is taken looking down my street and the rest are photos taken here and there between Ngahere and Stillwater.


This photo taken while we were waiting at roadworks of the Grey River with mist over the mountains just outside of Dobson, about 10 minutes from home.



This one was taken from the side of the road about 15 minutes from home near Ngahere (this is not where my house is, we are nearer into town). 

Other news: we have a new neighbour. A blue house on one side of us had been on the market for about a month. The previous elderly owner was a blind lady who went into a care home, her family spent a couple of weeks tidying up her property. The new owner is a middle aged man by himself and so far he has been pretty quiet which is nice, no parties. I gave him some fresh eggs from my chickens after we introduced ourselves.

Linking up with Skywatch FridayAll Seasons and Tom's signs.

What a lovely gesture to welcome your new neighbour with fresh eggs! Sounds like a peaceful transition, and it's great that things are quiet.

It's special to see that the first autumn colours are appearing here, while here the fresh green spring colours are turning into fuller, darker shades.

...I wish you a colorful autumn.

Wonderful photos, Amy. Giving your new neighbor some fresh eggs is a nice gesture.

You'd be a very popular neighbor over here these days if you gave away eggs! It really is a lovely thing for you to do -- and he sounds like he'll be a good quiet neighbor! Win-Win!!

I'm always a little surprised when you write about fall at the end of our spring, until I remember you're on the other side of the word!!

Beautiful autumn colors. Glad your new neighbor is nice, and not too loud!

You too look like Autumn is over and winter is here. Those clouds make it look chilly #Allseasons (How nice of you to give the eggs)
