Fall is my absolute favorite season. Here are a few photographs around Blue Creek Home plus a few “on the road” photographs.
Our leaves haven’t turned much yet. It won’t be much longer though!!!
G-Man is responsible for this wonderful outdoor “fallscape”. He knew that I wanted to use a bundle of cornstalks tied with orange ribbon. Low and behold, he came home the next day with the cornstalks, a bale of hay , pumpkins, and gourds. What a guy!! I do love him so.
You get a glimpse of the lake in the upper right of the photo.
We have had this wooden wheel barrow for years and still lovin’ it. It has acquired a great patina.
Don’t you love these gray gourds? I do!
While we were putting the outdoor decorations out, we ran into this little guy. I hate spiders, but this one is just so….yellow! It almost looks like a tick to me!! Does anyone know what kind it is? You can have him!!!
This guy is sitting high up on the courtyard wall.
I am crazy for fall!!
Have I ever mentioned that we have boulders? Some were badly scraped by the bulldozer pushing them around. If we started digging anywhere, we would unearth lots more.
We had these stacked. It’s the perfect spot to rest.
There is a great big one here…
And lots lining the driveway…
And did I mention that we have lots of boulders????? I love every single one of them, too!
I took this photograph in Alexander City. Don’t you love the railroad track in the foreground and the old concrete fence in the background? Dogwoods are the first trees to start showing their beautiful fall colors here in the South. You wouldn’t believe the huge house nestled behind all those trees. It looks like Tara!
Last week, we took a little road trip. This mural is in downtown Sylacauga. I don’t know who the artist was, but it was very well executed. I’m betting a few heads have been bumped trying to get to that lake!
Hey, it’s time for “Outdoor Wednesday” with Susan @ “A Southern Daydreamer”.
I hope you enjoyed these early fall photographs. I had loads of fun writing and photographing for this post.

Lovely. I love all those big rocks. I miss big rocks down here. Sand doesn't totally make up for their absence. By the way, this time of year we have those spiders here too but they are red. Odd looking little guys.
ReplyDeleteHi. Those are wonderful and amazing. I haven't see autumn in actual! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Regards.
That is a cute Halloween vignette in front of your house. Your boulders are a beautiful color. My MIL wants big boulders in her front yard as a barrier from people driving into her house. She lives just past a bad curve. A couple times every year, a car lands up in her yard and has hit the house twice.
ReplyDeleteLike your Fall decor. Great photos - thanks for sharing (but you can keep the spider). :)
ReplyDeleteHubby sounds like a keeper, great job bringing home the fall decor. . .I love your shutters, do show us pictures of the rest of your house sometime. . .Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. Your guy has the knack of a decorator :-). I'd say he's a keeper. The boulders look wonderful but I know what a problem they can be when you're trying to landscape. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those Mario-Brothers-esque spiders outside of my house too...aren't they great?
Gorgeous Fall post!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I do love those gray gourds! Fabulous Fall pictures!!
ReplyDelete:) T
What a fabulous mural. Your hubby is so sweet to get the items you needed for your display! It turned out great! Although I do not like spiders, that is a great picture. Looks like a Spiny Orbweaver Spider. You have a beautiful yard.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
