A warm hello friends! I must say, you totally overwhelmed me with your kind comments and memories about the Oregon Coast images. Amazing that several of you had visited there, even though you now live in other countries. I’m delighted we all got to share it – thank you again.
A few days ago I mentioned working on several new series of images and here is the first, Fallen Roses. I had in mind a shift in mood, a sort of slow segue into autumn colors, slightly desaturated and a bit less brightness and light but without saying a final farewell to my beloved summer roses.
I’ve been resisting autumn but decided I’d better embrace it before it is over, for I do actually adore it. September slipped through my fingers like the coastal sands but October and November will be gathered up and cherished.
I found it fascinating how, laid flat, the roses opened up, revealing their inner structure. Usually, when upright on stems, the petals fall without showing this.
I’ve been busy updating my shop and these are each listed as 5 x 5 prints, with the full print set of all four at a very special price.
And to get myself in the spirit even more, I put together a little Vintage Harvest series of a few of my fall favorites.
Do you love this purple truck as I do? The make is International Harvester – how fitting! All four images are in the shop as a print set and as a note card set.
Autumn brings such wistful nostalgia, an almost sweetly melancholy atmosphere, in spite of its dramatic beauty. I love capturing its unique moments.

There you are, a bit of what I’ve been working on, and, a warning – there is soooo much more to come. I hope you don’t suffer from post overload from me!
I wish the rest of your week to be filled with wonderful autumn treats and treasures! Thank you for being here.

Beautiful images and no, you don't get to see the inside of the roses as you do when you lay it flat. So pretty! I really love autumn and I adore your images…they're so warm and cozy. Hope you're doing well and it's always so fun to see what you're up to. xoxo, Kristi

You definitely captured the spirit of autumn in your new series. It's beautiful, dreamy … warm.
And that purple truck — no words! :-)
Looking forward to your posts (no worries about overloading us).
Lynda says
I just LOVE this new series, G.!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see what else you've been working on! :) xo ~ L.

G, your fallen roses are divine. Your photography takes my breath away everytime I come here. I think that Fall roses have such rich color. Is it because of the different slant of light that Fall brings, or is it that the sun is not as hot, and doesn't fade them as much? I don't know, but roses in the Fall are my favorite.
Oh the post about the Oregon coast brought back many memories with my family. As a child, I grew up in Boise, but my father's heart was on the Oregon coast. We vacationed there, every year. Then after my parents married off all of us, they moved to Lincoln City, so we vacationed there to see them.
Astoria, was my favorite place to visit. I have a picture of my children playing on the beach at Haystack Rock. It holds a treasure of memories for me.
Hugs to you from here…

The roses look so soft and delicate G – very pretty.
As much as I like purple as in the old truck; I'm smitten with the pumpkins on the fence. Wow, what an inspiring way to say autumn.
Have a great weekend and never fear that any of us will tire of your photography. I look forward to more.

Oh, you. You stun me. Always. I love you and I love your heart. And your style. And the way that you are so completely, and utterly YOU. I tell you, I could recognize your words and your images without ever a name. I love that!
And I love you.
And Autumn.
And my new memoboard, too. Thank you, my friend. Thank you!

bonjour georgianna :) i thought of you today while i was walking at the park this morning, there was an alley of wild roses with gorgeous petals full of rain drops, they fragrance was divine ! i took some in picture, but i rather prefer the tones you obtain because i like pale colours in general …
kendalee says
Georgianna, I haven't been over in a little while but as always when I do, I find myself just filled up with the beauty you capture. Your autumn roses are gorgeous (loved the shots from earlier with the berries too) and the pictures of the Oregon coast are breathtaking. I have never been, but it's definitely on my list now.
I hope your new week unfolds with more beauty and happy times… k xo
