Ciao Amalfi

An Autumn Walk in Scala

Autumn arrives quietly on the Amalfi Coast. Slowly the grape vines take on a rich red hue and the leaves of the sycamores turn a golden brown in the evening light. It’s an exercise in looking closely at first, but before long the landscape is dotted with autumn colors. This year’s warm and dry August and September months delayed the arrival of autumn, and I’ve enjoyed watching the slow arrival on my walks up in the mountains. Come along with me on autumn walk in Scala!

A burst of orange
Yellow lined street in Scala
Blue autumn sky
Red vines in Scala
Changing of the seasons
Just a little bit of red
Golden hues of a sycamore in Minuta

    Beautiful photos Laura. I enjoyed sharing your autumn walk. I paused the other day, when I was riding my bike to take some seasonal photos. I was amazed at how many different colours the leaves were.

      Ciao Pat! Do you not get autumn colors down your way in Sicily? I would sure miss it, too. I must admit that I even miss the winter snow a little bit here on the Amalfi Coast. We get a tiny little bit maybe once per winter, but it never sticks around. I do love the changing of the seasons!

    This give me hope that the weather will still be sunny and warmish when on the Amalfi coast in late October and November for walks along the Path f the Gods from Ravello to Atrani and from Noecelle down into Positano. Perhaps I can eave my winter jacket at home.

      Ciao bellini! The weather can be quite nice in October and the beginning of November, but it can also be quite chilly in the evening and unpredictable. Best to have layers and even your winter jacket. When the north wind blows down from the mountains it is very cold! 🙂 But here’s hoping for a gorgeous autumn with lots of sunny days!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning.

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
