Sadly, we don't get much of an autumn where I am now. Maybe if I lived up in the hills I would, but in urban north India, it's straight from rainy season into the cold. <br /><br />Maybe that's why I love coming here so much.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-76634658010940825632010-11-24T09:33:11.163-05:002010-11-24T09:33:11.163-05:00The wagon shot is terrific!

That's quite the compliment coming from you. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, MessyMimi. :)<br /><br />• MaggieGem, thanks. You just never know with those little critters. :)<br /><br />• Deb, thank kindly. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Cloudia. :)<br /><br />• Lime, I'm so glad you got a laugh out of it. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Slamdunk. That's true - the camera finds fun subjects just about anywhere. No need to go far, but it would still be fun. ;)<br /><br />• SD, thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed. :)<br /><br />• Bimbimbie, so true and that would bite! ;) Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Sandra, I had to look it up and you're quite correct. Its origin is the French <i>Marché aux Puces</i> which translates to Flea Market. According to Oxford Dictionaries: "<i>a name originally given to a market in Paris which specialized in shabby second-hand goods of the kind that might contain fleas</i>. Clever you. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Daryl. It was real stucco. Nice, eh? :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Coreen. We've had our Canadian Thanksgiving in October but I sure wish you a very happy Thanksgiving yourself. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Reb. I'm glad you could join me. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Sharon. I thought so too. It was like that for miles. :)<br /><br />• So true, Mami. Even better than a yellow brick road. Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Beth, I'm glad I could make you laugh. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Sue, thanks so much for the kind words. That means so much to me. :)<br /><br />• Michael, I can't think of more exciting words to hear as a child than "It's an adventure." Clearly your mother knew how to make the best of a bad situation and to keep life fun. Thanks for that story. :)<br /><br />• Linda, I have no idea if they usually do. I only know that this one did. If I ever encounter one of those camera-shy fleas, I'll ask. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Fragrant Liar, thanks so kindly. That's such a nice thing to say. It truly is a beautiful spot where I've spent a few summer days. Thanks for the visit. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-2554860170272011152010-11-22T23:17:13.593-05:002010-11-22T23:17:13.593-05:00Such great photos you take.

When I was a little kid, I was waiting with my Mom under a canopy while it was raining for my Dad to drive up and give us a ride home. I told my Mom something like "This is boring". Her comeback was: "Yeah, but it's an adventure" (with both eyebrows raised to accentuate the point). Suddenly it was like your photo of the telephone wires lighting the way! Very cool! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-18552902265448425922010-11-22T20:00:48.402-05:002010-11-22T20:00:48.402-05:00Hilary, I just love your sense of humor and gift o...Hilary, I just love your sense of humor and gift of "gab".
