September’s Sunday Stills color challenge is harvest gold.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
JRR Tolkein, The Fellowship of the Ring
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
As I enjoy an Eastern Washington Autumn with all the golden colors so typical in September, I recall countless years spent in Sacramento enjoying Autumn’s much slower start. Late August boasts field of sunflowers a few miles from our new home in Washington.
In Sacramento, September was the month to experience that golden sunlight that warmed the land. Sadly, I believe that golden light was caused by smoke from wildfires, and late summer dry conditions.
Citrine is another choice for this week’s color challenge. Its color can range from a pale pastel yellow to a strong orangey-yellow. My sapphire wedding ring is an example of this color.
While you contemplate your harvest gold and citrine images to share, please enjoy this gallery of images to get you started.

Golden Moments of a Sedona Wedding
Thank you so much for your thoughts and comments last week as I shared some preview wedding photos of my step-daughter’s wedding in Sedona, Arizona. As promised, I’m sharing more images from the wedding that took place on Monday, August 23.
The bride and groom shared their vows, then signed the wedding forms in front of the iconic, golden-hued peaks of Sedona.
Golden moments at dinner. The bride contemplates her array of special beverages.
Golden hues of the L’Auberge de Sedona Resort lobby. Citrine Sedona rocks and me!
