In my quest to find fall colors and scenes I came across this display at a produce market. I do so love the fall and all it's rich colors.
Thoughts of cozy nights warmed by a mug of hot spiced maybe spiked cider, good friends and family gatherings warm my heart and take me to a beautiful place. I just hope life isn't so busy that fall passes with barely any notice.
The weather is still quite warm here and the trees are just starting to show hints of things to come. Fall is my favorite time of year.
Remember October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I have some useful links posted on my other blog on this post.

@Zing: Thanks.
Pumpkins really say Fall. I'm looking forwar to going back to the mountains and getting some Autumn shots.

@photowannabe: Thanks. I'm still looking for fall colors.
big pumpkins!

@Miso: Thanks. They weren't all that big, really they were kind of average.
Very nice colors

@Sriram: Thanks.
Very nice macro and a most suitable post for this season.

@badala: Thanks. It isn't really a macro though.
Super--I love pumpkins!

@Brian: Thanks. Me too, but if I put them on my stoop the squirrels eat them. Grrr.
Smashing! I love those colors. Thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comments while I was somwhow off.

@Behrooz: Thanks. Your response is funny because it makes me think of the rock group "Smashing Pumpkins". Of course I have no clue about their music, I've just heard the name.
This is so nice! Please, see my daughter's pumpkins shots! eleftheria.aminus3.com

@Evi: Thanks. I've seen her site. It's very nice she does good work.
Is that a good deal? :) Great photo!

@Dave MacIntyre: Thanks. I honestly don't know if that's a good price. They were really pretty so I think I would pay it, although I didn't buy any that day.
great shot here..i couldnt agree more about fall's colors. best of any season.

@Nick Passantino: Thanks.
elles vont trouver leur visage d'ici peu !!!!

@lasiate: Thanks.
Brilliant orange! I prefer flat rate pumpkins myself, and will probably pick mine up on the weekend!
4 Oct 2007 7:19pm
@Walt: Thanks. I haven't seen flat rate pumpkins, unless they were already weighed and priced. Even the "pick your own" places weight them after you pick them. Gosh I haven't done that in years, since the kids were small.
Those are huge! Wonderful framing and composition!
5 Oct 2007 12:46am
@Stunner: Thanks. They were actually kind of medium sized.
Superb colours, did you buy one?
5 Oct 2007 3:26am
@Manuela Photography: Thanks. No I didn't buy any. It seems the squirrels love them too so I wait and buy them right before Halloween for carving and displaying. Although I used an artificial one last year because the squirrels were so bad.
stunning one

@KMF: Thanks.
Great dark around the edges! I'll take a few pounds! :)

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks.
Laurie, funny that you should mention that I just got a referral for my mammo today! I am doing my part! On the subject of fall and pumpkins, this is a colorful feast for the eyes!

@Dawn Sutherland: Thanks.
Good! Always best to be on top of these things.
I find pumpkins a little creepy....I guess I've seen too many horror films.
6 Oct 2007 2:05pm
@Jasp: Awww...Pumpkins are so homey to me, unless they are carved all spooky.
Yeah... it's fall. Beautiful capture.

@Olaide: Thanks.
in the west-india (French antille) we use it for soup (another one from the same family)
6 Oct 2007 4:07pm
@Pouhou: Thanks. I've had pumpkin soup here as well. When it's made right it's pretty tasty. Also pumpkin ale is popular this time of year, but I'm not a big fan of that.
Beautiful shot! Great colour and detail!

@Paulo Santos: Thanks.
Great colors laurie! I love fall too...the chill in the air, the color on the trees, just beautiful!

@Jen: Thanks.
I love pumpkins and fall colours too!
7 Oct 2007 12:59pm
@Yvon: Thanks.
Nice pumpkins! (don't take that the wrong way LOL)
8 Oct 2007 10:09am
@Russ: Lol...Thanks.
awesome shot Laurie, how did you make the borders darker? did you do that in post processing?
8 Oct 2007 2:17pm
@ankush vimawala: Thanks. I did add a bit of a vignette on this one in layers. I don't do that all that often but it seemed to work for this shot.
Oh nice! Halloween one month before! :)
