Once in a while there are these days when you feel like the last leaf on the tree…. and the wind is shaking you around… and then you just stop fighting and let the wind blow you away… and you just land wherever it puts you…
This image was taken in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris. There are many good sad songs reflecting my present mood, and most of them are French.
“Autumn Leaves” is a popular song that was originally written by Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prevert. It has been performed in countless arrangements, but Yves Montand was the one who introduced the song in 1946 in the French film Gates Of The Night.
I am sad for no particular reason, but if there is anybody who feels lonely, you can listen this song with me.
These images were taken in Hyde Park, London.
In the light of the recent events I want to share a sad song by a Scottish alternative rock band Del Amitri, in which the notorious British weather is mentioned… 😉 All of those who are sad because no one loves you, welcome to listen this song 🙂
I think it is all because of the Summer slipping away. The songbirds fly South… Even this crow didn’t want to stay with me…
…and took off leaving his shadow.
Another sad song from a rock band Counting Crows.
Soon, so very soon all the creatures will hide…
… and even the spiders will freeze to death…
Ah, enough of that sad mood! Stop it:)
Tomorrow will be another day, I will do something useful and cross out another item in my long-as-a-life to-do list. To cheer myself up I will listen to the Gypsi Swing band from Waterford, and share their music with you all.
Photography tip of the day: Autumn is the time of clouds. If you are shooting black&white, use orange filter. Your sky will stand out.
Have a great weekend!
Making memories 
Sometimes I have down days and music really helps lift me up too! I hope it helped you xo I do welcome the new season and the falling of the leaves in between the raindrops. HUGS
Thank you Christy! I too love music, and sometimes sing along when driving 🙂
You speak so beautifully about the autumn! 🙂 Hugs!
Gorgeous post. I agree with Teagan. Sometimes it’s OK to sometimes contemplate and feel. And I’ve always loved the word, melancholy. I guess the option would be to do like the birds and go chasing the summer….But plenty of good suggestions to follow. And as you say in closing, autumn is a good time for clouds…
Thank you Olga! You are so right, we always have the option of chasing summers, but a little bit of melancholy won’t hurt, right ? 😉 September, and especially September 30, is my favorite time for this particular mood 🙂
Have a wonderful week!
Stunning photos! Thank you for liking my recent posts, and then I came here for a wonderful view of what you do!
Blessings,
P.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Have a happy Sunday!
Yves Montand, yeah. And a lovely compilation of photos and feelings. Thanks much for this.
Thank you! 🙂
Well, you’ve caught my mood….but I’m getting more positive again 🙂
❤
Thank you! I still haven’t figured out how to comment on your posts… I click on the “comment” link yet it seems inactive… nothing happen…
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
I am a sun worshipper and for me this time of year heralds changes not just in my wardrobe but in the way I follow the sun when it appears around the garden. if I do not get my daily 45 minutes of Vitamin D therapy I do find the dark winter months melancholic. But I have just unearthed a bright red polo neck jumper I had forgotten I owned. So a resolution – enjoy the season and the beauty and wear red… another lovely post from inesemjphotography. Definitely worth following
Thank you Sally!
Have a happy weekend!
My pleasure – enjoy the weekend too. X
🙂 xx
Ah… Autumn leaves…
Thank you:)
Another batch of really lovely photos. Love the one of the ladies in the park.
Thank you! This park is more than another beautiful place for me. Hope to go there again some day.
We all have these days! I’ve learned to just BE. Be happy, Be Sad… Whatever.
And you said it- tomorrow is another day. Hope you know how much we all adore you though. So many reasons to smile when you are ready 🙂
Thank you Alisa! 🙂 This time it didn’t work as I expected : I woke up with a sore throat… I was supposed to get a flu vaccination today and now it is all ruined… I think I have to lie low and wait for a better luck :)…
Thanks for the photos and the music! We all need cheering up once in awhile! tc
Thank you! I seldom complain publicly 😉
That is usually a good idea! We can be transparent, but some things are better left unsaid!
I love how you take all of these bits and bring them together. Sheer genius!
Thank you, it is too kind a comment 🙂 I just play with words and things, picking them out of my memory. It is my way to relax and forget all my projects and deadlines at least for an hour 🙂
Well, that fit in with my mood too! That first autumn leaf does it every year. Fall is beautiful here, but I never quite enjoy it like I think I should because it means winter is coming.
Thank you for stopping by! True, it is always in the back of my mind too 🙂
Lovely pictures. I can understand how the feeling can come especially during season changes. Hope you get cheer up soon.
Thank you so much, I hope too.:)
Ah Inese, a bit melancholy is a place i often find myself of late. Sometimes, when it’s honestly only a bit, it’s okay to just let the melancholy wash over us — like the beautiful song you gave us here. Then we shake off the droplets of sadness and smile again.
Sunshine-super-hugs to you! 🙂
Thank you for your lovely comment! I am so overwhelmed with everything that I just gave up and got melancholy… And as you so poetically say – I just let the melancholy wash over me, and now it is gone, and I am all busy working out my new schedule:) Thank you again for commenting, it is so sweet of you!
Hugs and best wishes! 🙂
Sweet post! Beautiful photos, thoughts and music for melancholic weekend! I love the opening photo! Have a great weekend!
Thank you Indah! Have a great weekend you too! I was reading about the lionfish when my daughter rang me, now I am going back to finish reading:)
I love the way u put photos with words and music. Even though melancholy I have a smile on my face. Really nice.
Thank you! I had a smile on my face when I was writing the post 🙂
I hope that by the dawn things seem a bit less overwhelming and you have a smile on your face.
Thank you for your kind words! I need some heavy meditation I guess 🙂
Well this is great, now we´re two that are feeling a bit down today. But tomorrow will be another day, so better get our sh..t together and move.
The picture of Hide Park brought some good memories, specially those chairs, I think they´ve been there since the 18 hundreds plus I had to smile at the woman wearing that Burka almost being eaten by the pigeons, sorry, but political correctness is not my thing, plus these people should laugh a little more at themselves, probably be more happy. Just look at me, I look at myself in the mirror and giggle like a little girl.
Down days we all have, tomorrow we get better, since with my vast knowledge at age 32, i did find out that the sooner you get up the easier it is, the longer you stay down the harder to get up. Plus tomorrow is the weekend, go buy some sexy clothes! 😉 or a new camera, I´m going party party tomorrow! to the book shop that is. Excited though, wanted to buy some good books in English, not Spanish.
Thank you for your kind words! Bless your heart, you are a good friend. And you know what? You are my daughter’s age:) Have a good day tomorrow, cheer up, be good! 🙂
I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you! Just overwhelmed by too many deadlines… 🙂
